Focusing on conservative estimates and fundamentals like location, schools, and market performance aligns with the way real estate has historically worked.

.)- Average days on market- Absorption rate- Historical data on rents and sale prices in the area- Population growth- Main economic drivers (industries, individual companies, etc.)- Crime stats... if you know specific zip codes/submarkets that you'd like to target, the best data will come from local precincts. - and more..I'd recommend remaining active not only here on BiggerPockets, but in other valuable RE investment networks that you can find - i.e. local meetups (meetup.com, eventbrite, BP local events). 

Be kind to yourself and feel free to send me a DM if you think that I can be helpful resource.That makes sense but yes I do have FOMO, house prices have historically increased faster than rents, thats a nation wide trend.

Sounds like this is maybe in the Wilmore area if it's in a historic district near South End.

I have two properties in the Blue Hills area, which have historically done well. 

@Caleb Brown it is on a street known for historic homes but this city does not registered their historic homes.

Good post with a few good ideas, thanks.A note about San Antonio, is that it historically has a big turnover in homes due to the military bases in the area.

You'll then see that delinquency rates are:- At their lowest point since 2006- Historically on the low side of normal - On an overall downward trend for the past 4 yearsIn fact, excluding the artificially propped-up mortgage market of 2004-2006 during which delinquency rates were slightly lower than they are today, bottoming out at 1.41% in 2005, there are fewer mortgage delinquencies today than at any time in the past 33 years.By the way, when these scant 1.73% of homeowners become delinquent on their mortgages, they overwhelmingly have the equity to be able to sell the home at a gain if needed.
