How do you research real estate markets?

[Bellman Tumasang]

I know everyone says in order to research and find good markets to invest in real estate you should look at good job growth, incomes, migration etc but how exactly do I find out this info? Do I ask brokers, go to brokerage firms, search online if so what reliable websites because the internet says a lot of things? 

How can I keep up to date with new info on markets?

First of all, everyone doesn't say that.

Second, those that do, what does all of "that" tell you about the market...and making money in that market?
