How to analyse different real estate markets?

[Bellman Tumasang]

How do I analyse different real estate markets? Yes I know I need to look at job growth, migration etc everyone says the same thing but how exactly do I find this out?

For example let’s say investors want to research job growth in the Texas market I highly doubt that they just search up Texas job growth on google and call it a day. Do you ask brokers? But then again brokers may be biased towards the markets they get listings from? Is there a national database? Do you just visit areas and see if new shopping centres are being built or business moving into the area?

IF IT HELPS THEN I’M LOOKING TO EVENTUALLY INVEST IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS. I AM 17 TURNING 18 NEXT YEAR ACTIVELY LOOKING FOR JOB WHEN I GO TO UNIVERSITY IN SEPTEMBER.
