Initial Analysis of an area for office/retail investing

[Scott W.]

What are the first things you look for an area before determining if you would consider an office or retail investment in the area? I feel like I am getting bogged down trying to find the perfect area, property, opportunity, etc. (which probably doesn't exist ) and I wanted to know how others do their initial analysis of an investment opportunity in the office or retail sector? Thanks

Hi Scott,

You may want to look at a development map of the area for current and future developments to give you an idea of what the area will be like in the future. I know that helped me to get an idea of the areas. 

I used this site: http://devmap.io/cities

Good luck!
