out of state purchase for renting

[Deep Ron]

I am trying  to purchase a multifamily house , outside of the city where i live it wis about 150  miles from my location ,  how do i figure out the demographics of the area and also the medium income around the area where i am planning to purchase . do i need to look for any big stores/shopping malls or any govt offices around the area to see if the place would be ideal for purchasing the property for renting it .

Have you looked into the Ohio markets? I think Columbus is a great market to consider. I moved here from Florida after seeing the projected growth. Multiple, billion dollar companies are investing substantial amounts of money into our area, such as Intel, Google, and Amazon. Which in turn will bring plenty of other investors and general business to the area.
