Try to research and get a sense of any new exciting development in the area, be it hospitals, parks/walkways, transportation, etc., which will drive value to the area. 

Both have great public transportation access and are already seeing new development happening on the regular.What dollar value of a property can you purchase currently?

@Grayson Lynum Regarding Modular, I have gone down that rabbit hole several times, and what I found it, they are not cheaper, just faster, and they look like a modular, due to the transportation limitations, the rectangle box or Prow front on mods tend to have a stigma to buyers, also many of the finishes are very low end. if you site built a very basic rectangle with the same cheap finishes most mods come with, you will be financially better off. and they are not faster, typically from order to occupancy is 6-9 months, I did my last spec in 7 mo. its just not as much work on site, the time is waiting for the factory to get to your build. good luck!

Things like enclosing dining rooms or splitting living rooms might make sense.

This included enclosing the area under the existing porch, a door and egress window.

Decent schools and great public transportation.

Their argument is that you will still need some transportation once that car is turned in.

Look for areas with low vacancy rates, good schools, and proximity to amenities like shopping centers, parks, and public transportation.
