@Chris K.One method is reviewing appraisal data for the local county office to determine allocations between land and house.

The way I've narrowed it down is by:Gathering data from all 50 states (population growth, median income, crime, price-to-rent, etc.)Filter out states that have rent lawsFilter out blue states (not because of political beliefs but from my understanding they have less rules and regulation and I believe that in the current climate we're in with COVID and all people are going to flock to areas that don't have as much regulation)Highlight states that people retire in more than othersBecause of short-term rental becoming a trending way to invest, filter out states that impose regulation/rules against short-term rentals using platforms like Air BNB, etc.Also, using ZILLOW, I type in my parameters (homes under $125,000, sqft.

There are other data sources predicting the exact opposite. 

But my custodian does not allow checkbook control on designated ROTH sub-accounts.

Before you throw $500 at the idea make sure you have the data.

Hi @Steve Buchanan, We are designing conversions and new construction ADUs on many large muti-family properties.

I am in need of a structural engineer for an evaluation and design help with a mixed use building in the Ann Arbor MI area.

There is a ton of data on here covering nearly everything. ;)

Can anyone recommend a good data visualization tool for population, job growth, etc.?
