Real Estate Data Trends of nearby cities

[Parag D.]

Hi -

I am a passive investor in RE and currently have one SFH on rental. I want to add another SFH investment this year. As I work fulltime in my day job, I do not get opportunities to actively network and learn about other locations/cities to invest. I am looking for online sites that can provide city/county data focused on RE investment. I came across online site like Neighborhood Scout (www.neighborhoodscout.com) though their monthly subscription of $80 per month looks pricey. Are there other (more affordable) sites that I can use to find out about market trends, city data etc.?  How do most folks do online research on surrounding cities to find rental/market data?

Thanks in advance.
