How to tell if rental property is a good location

[Jake Peterson]

I am looking at a few different MFH for sale. I run the numbers and am finding deals that I think are pretty good. My questions are, how do I know if I am buying in a good area? How do I know that it will rent out? Do I just have to dive in and manage the property to the best of my ability and hope someone finds it and says "this one looks good"? Any tips on making your property stand out?
