What measurable parameters do you use in location analysis?
Hey fellow buy and hold investors!
I am curious to hear what measurable tangible metrics you use when analyzing specific sub-locations (e.g. specific zips, suburbs, neighborhoods, etc., but NOT the actual properties themselves) within your target geography...
Crime rates?
Average/median income?
Public school district ranking/rating?
Homeownership rate?
% of residents w/ college degree?
Average commute times?
Walkability?
All of the above?? Or did I miss something??
