determining where to invest.

[James Petry]

super open ended question but im curious of other peoples methods. Does anyone go by census numbers of population growth and home sales..ect to plan where they invest. I ask because i reside in youngstown oh. Most people here say they want out buy i imagine people say that everywhere. So do you just adapt to the market or do you go where more activity seems to be

Hi James

I look at job growth, at least 2% for 2 consecutive years. You also want household growth, and population growth.  Use the site bls.gov for demographics.  You want jobs and people migrating into a market, not leaving as is the case in my great state of NY.
