A transportable cabin that would make a perfect get away in the mountains. 

Do you need to be close to specific highways or transportation lines?

I use data.I first make a list of all the cities I might have heard of, cities that I heard others were investing, etc.For each city in the list I get deeper information, like the price to rent ratios, the crime rates, the school ratings, property tax information, insurance rates, population growth, unemployment rate, transportation options and businesses in the area.Then I take this information and start comparing city to city. 

Close to the freeways, hospitals and public transportation.

We have a parcel of land that is currently our bus transportation center.

You need to know transportation patterns, topography, and school districts. 

How is public transportation and commute time with in city 3.

Are there any venues, attractions, large employers or transportation hubs located nearby where tenants may want/need access to short term housing during all 4 seasons?
