Best analysis tool?

[Ilona Kovacs]

Hello All!

I have been looking at different places to invest.

I am looking for advice on the best tool to use to help with appreciation, job growth, etc that would help me.

I have looked at a few tools, like zillow, trulia (to look at sold properties) but I was looking for more historical data on appreciation.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks!

The best analysis tool?  Your knowledge of numbers, and the market...and a financial calculator.  If you rely on any spreadsheets or software to make decisions for you, you are probably making a lot of wrong decisions...but you don't know it.

Those "tools" are just that. Tools. They help you compile information and do the complex math for you. Analysis is best done by you...the REI.
