@Art Perkitny That makes a lot of sense. Where would I get this sort of data points and where would I see those trends? I’m not sure if it’s available on Zillow and Trulia.

Also, considering that I am very prone to paralysis from analysis, which of those risk factors should I focus on the most?

@Art Perkitny wow!! Thank you so much this is awesome.

You got me, I’m a newbie so I genuinely appreciate your advice.

Couple of questions for you. Are you saying I should take the ratio with a grain of salt? If so, what should the bare minimum P/R ratio be? Is it possible to have a lower P/E ratio but still be a good investment ? I’m mainly thinking about cash-flowing buy and hold type of properties.

Also, what risk factors should I take into account? I understand crime is a big one but is there anything else?

Looking forward to hearing back

I’m trying to invest out of state and I’m trying to get people’s opinion on which cities in the Southern part of the country have the best Price to Rent ratios

Currently reading the BP book on this topic (because I live in CA) and it got me wondering which out of state cities/neighborhoods work best for this strategy. I want to start analyzing deals but the country is so large that Im not exactly sure where to start.

If you have a top 5 list of value-appreciating neighborhoods/cities with good cashflow it would be great to hear your thoughts!
