My agent of choice is Darlene Derosia.

The only other way to get this info is to run rent/lease comps yourself (~10-15min), or do enough projects in that area to where you have it.Or for Thousand Oaks, etc:Or if we have a choice between two projects in different markets, I can use this chart to compare the two rental markets:-Basically anything to the right of 0 means the rent price/sf/mo has been growing QoQ, and the height is the current $/sf/mo of that market. 

Some top choices include Midlothian, Cedar Hill, Grand Prairie, Garland, Irving, and Arlington.

I had brought this up with my realtor that I use for rentals in a different area and she gave me the link for home testing and basically said I have to do it and don't have a choice so I'm very glad to hear from others it's actually not like that at all!

Depending on the price point and community, any buyer has dozens of choices in each resort.

I must be the sole owner of my investment choices.

I respect your personal choices, however I can't imagine ever going to somewhere like Montana and making the decision to stay in a hotel over a cabin rental.

Very silly in my opinion.In this market, there are MANY good income producing choices that you could invest your Roth funds. 

With prices the way they are going, I feel people have no choice but to look to those ignored markets.

Every market has its bright spot its great Agents and PM's etc.. its all personal choice.
