Targeting a neighborhood or zip

[Account Closed]

Hey guys, 

Quick question: How do you go about deciding which neighborhood or zip code to target? Specifically what types of indicators are you looking for to know you have a good area for deals? I live in Phoenix AZ if that helps!

Thanks,

@Account Closed I stick with the neighborhoods that I don't have to duck to avoid bullets going down the street. I look for cars that are a few years old but kept up, yards that generally are kept and places where kids are playing ball or riding bikes. Sometimes I'll do an HOA secured area but they generally appeal to a different audience. I am into cash flow and getting the new tenant buyer quickly, so I try to keep to the neighborhoods that are kept up but not necessarily exclusive. I also take into consideration employment around the area and how far people have to travel to find jobs.
