Best Resources for Evaluating a Market

[Ryan Ohls]

Hello --- question for the group.  Does anybody have any ideas for resources that might provide good insight into growing rental markets for multi-family?    More specifically, I'm looking for city development, growth, demographic info (age, income, etc), industry information, etc.  

I'm looking to expand my scope outside my current market and seeking solid info for research.

Thanks!

Ryan

• City-Data
• Trulia/Zillow/Redfin
• US Census
• Research report by the big brokerage houses like Marcus and Milichap, CBRE, JLL etc
• You can also use toolslike Zipwho and ESRI to get granular demographic data around age, income, racial mixture
• City/County/State websites have a lot of information. A trick that has really helped me is reaching out the Chamber of Commerce. They are always eager to help out, willing to point you in the right direction and connect you with people.
