Out of state market analysis

[Carl Gorson]

How do I go about performing a market analysis out of state? Recently, while on vacation in Florida, I met a very promising potential investment partner for a fix and flip SFH. We have decided to look in the area between Tampa and Fort Myers because this is the area in which he resides and will most likely be taking care of the construction part of our partnership. Seeing how I am from south New Jersey, how do I narrow down and determine what is a strong marketplace for the resale of this potential property?
