Finding Emerging Markets for MF

[Rafael Diaz]

Hello everyone,

My name is Jacob (please excuse the profile mismatch - I'm using my dad's BP Pro Account).

I have a goal to buy a small apartment complex by the end of the year and the first step I'm taking towards that is to start finding some emerging markets to target. I'm open really to anywhere in the United States.

I wanted to connect with any other investors to see if anyone is doing/has done a similar analysis to see if we can share resources and maybe even work together.

For some more information on the resources I've found so far:

Emerging Real Estate Markets by David Lindahl

The following videos also talk about market selection and research:

There are other resources I've found but for the sake of brevity I'll leave them out.

I've yet to start really digging deeper into particular markets, but hopefully will get to that soon.

Are there any resources (books/videos/articles/etc) that others would recommend? 

And I'd love to hear how others are doing similar analyses, if you don't mind sharing. 

Thanks in advance

Check out some of the market data from Marcus and millichap (free) for emerging market data.  The book you mentioned (Dave L's book) is a great read as well.  Also don't overlook the articles on biggerpockets here (blogs too), there was recently published for 2021 market data.
