It is a retail store that will rent VHS & DVDs by the day and you can shop around the store for a decent selection :) :) 

How are you planning to use current cap rate knowledge to select a market?

Once you have a solid lead list, I'd recommend selecting mailers that stand out from your competition.  

Just like what you select to do and have knowledge on the market selected.  

@Suresh Rajan Hi Suresh -  did you select a property management company in Alpharetta?

FYI, to properly tag someone you have to select the name as it appears once you start typing @ and their name...So for example type "@Lucas" and then my full name should appear - click that and it will tag me.

Mashvisor, which pulls in MLS data from most metro markets, displays the properties and gives you an analysis as to how much you can expect from the selected property either as a long term landlord or short term landlord.

There are two to three markets I am interested in that I have some small relationships within that I could utilize, my hometown, my wife's hometown or a place I visit often for work.My questions concern the opportunity cost of learning the ins and outs of 3 different markets when the requirements of truly knowing the market increase the chances of success.Do I select one based on distance, the potential to cash flow or appreciate, or one that I may have more connections in?
