Hi All :)

I'm trying to  compile a list of metrics to use in order to identify new markets to invest in Europe.

Thus far I came with the following metrics:

1. Rental Yields (historic and projection)
2. Mortgage Interest Rates (historic and projection)
3. The spread between the two above
4. Taxes (Upon purchase, tax on rent and on capital gains)
5. Tourism (trend)
6. GDP per Capita (historic and projections)
7. Median purchase price per SQF
8. Median rental price per SQF
9. Median Free income (after income tax)
10. Nearby Hospitals (existing and planned)
11. Nearby Airports (existing and planned)
12. DoingBusiness Score (various criteria related to Real Estate )
13. Population Growth rates (historic and projections)
14. Nearby Public Transportation
15. Divorce Rates
16. Average Marriage Age
17. Job Growth
18. Household Debt (trend and projection)
19. Country Debt (trend and projection)
20. Is there a financial institute that will refinance an asset I purchase at 75% LTV or more (implementing BRRRR)
21. Owners:Renters Ratio
22. Tenant or Landlord biased law system
23. Hi Tech corporates planning to open HQs in the area
24. Currency Inflation/Deflation (historic and projections)
25. Construction permits (historic and projections)
26. Constructions starts (historic and projections)
27. New apartments sold
28. New apartments median price
