1. What trends did you look for during your research that proved to be positive, making the city in question a great place to invest?

The key for us is positive population growth. Markets with slow stagnate or declining populations mean that you need much more local knowledge to know which areas is strong and which areas are soft (niche investing). In markets with strong population growth, ie high absorption rates, you have much better chances of not making a market placement mistake as well as having the potential for good rate growth.
