I was just there visiting friends in June, but tomorrow begins our journey into scouting your mkt.Thanks for the insights in this market, contributors.

Also, you can always use a tool like neighborhood scout to get a sense of things as well.

If they are inexperienced and are too focused on marketing, learn as much as you can outside of Renatus or scout around inside Renatus to find more knowledgeable people. 

I have already scouted a few properties but decided not to push forward on them (mold, foundation issues).

Munising is a winner of a market...I was actually up there in September doing some kayaking and property scouting.

Look at the building, check the crime site, neighborhood scout, city data (population, income, vacancy - can all be found sometime even block by block).

@Mathew Peterson I know of a Boy Scout Reservation of about 300+ acres that should be coming on the market in a year or less in NH.

Wikipedia✅ Low crime rate: Never invest in any city on Neighborhood Scout’s 100 most dangerous cities list.✅ Low operating costs: Good indicators of a pro-business climate include:Property taxes: State Property Tax Rates - Rocket Mortgage.State average insurance cost: Insurance - ValuePenguinState income taxes: Tax Foundation✅ Low risk of a natural disaster: The cost of homeowners insurance is the best indicator of the likelihood of a natural disaster in an area.

I plan to visit these markets to scout the areas before I start investing into these markets.Note, I am not worry about scaling right now, and I am investing for long term.

Even so, I'm confident in achieving >30% cash on cash ROI with the FHA loan and my horrendous 605 credit score.I've been approved for the loan now and very seriously scouting for the property.
