How do you know where to look for buy and hold properties?

[Tyler Wisner]

Hi, I’m new to the forum and new to investing. I plan on purchasing an investment property by the end of the year, my plan is to buy and hold the property for long term wealth. I am looking in the Fort Worth Area as it seems the economy is good there, specifically Arlington.

My question is, in general how do you know where to purchase buy and hold properties so you actually make money on the property when you rent it out, any advice is appreciated.
