Analysing markets and submarkets

[David Dickens III]

Hello everyone! My name is David Dickens and I'm new to real estate investing and still trying to learn the ropes. One of the biggest confusions I've had so far is market analysis and what to look for and where to go find the data at. With that I was wanting to know what you guys look for and what sources you may use when analysing a market or a submarket.

You should start with a general idea of price point and strategy, which should get you narrowed down a bit, then you'll want to look at job and population growth (City-Data.com) and get a feel for each of the markets, once you have selected a market you can go a bit deeper into sub-markets and unique details of the market as a whole.
