How to Choose Location of A Long Term Hold

[Dan Bottiglieri]

Hi BiggerPockets,

How do you pick the location of a rental property? It's tough for me to choose a specific market because I'm not sure how big renting is in that particular market.  I like college rentals a lot because of the huge tenant pool, however, how do I know if I'll be able to find tenants in a non-college town? It sounds like an odd question, but I can never gauge the rent demand, when I think of a blue-collar neighborhood I think of people looking to buy, not rent.
