How the @*&#%$^ do I pick a market to invest in?

[Mark Neiger]

I have the unfair advantage of being able to travel anywhere any time I want to. My primary occupation is an airline pilot so I get to fly free anywhere and anytime. Having said that, I'm trying to break into the MFR market. I live in Florida and have started looking at property in this state but really want to be able to do research and find some of the most lucrative markets in the country. I have the ability to go and physically look at a property and meet with team members in any market. What would be the best way to research markets and how can I put that information together to determine where I might want to concentrate my efforts?
