Hello BP, Is there a metric, tool or indicator I can use to determine vacancy rates in a specific area before buying a rental property?

We know how tricky it can be to find legitimate sponsors and solid deals, so we built PassivePockets to give you the tools, resources, and community support to help you invest with more confidence.

Use their market analysis tool to sort by properties similar to yours (#bed/baths, SF, location, amenities, etc.) and look through specific listings to find ones VERY similar to yours.

While my research is extremely limited (and entirely based on what I see - which is arguably an investors best tool), I did want to ask what others here have noticed in their major cities. 

Skiptracing is a valuable tool for real estate investors, especially when you're trying to locate property owners from returned mail or to expand your marketing efforts.

SEO power. 

I'm getting some mixed results when I expand the number of tools for analysis that I'm using...

I expect economic activity to slow, rate cuts to deepen, housing activity to accelerate and USD purchasing power to continue weakening.  

I have no decision power but hope you hear your stories!

Real estate + construction is a powerful combination.
