The migration east of 82nd is pretty strong right now due to pricing west of 82nd and the household growth in the 100K+ households that can afford the inner markets (forcing lower income households east or out of Portland). 

Similar to @Valerie Rogers, I will be migrating away from Airbnb, not because they refunded, they just took a unilateral stance, then used it as leverage as a publicity stunt. 

I've also written more in-depth about this migration trend here if you're interested:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/621/topics/396725-millennial-migration-to-sacramento-2017---here-comes-the-rushAnyhoo, Sacramento City Councilman Steve Hansen recently held a town hall meeting to discuss the issue and over 100 people showed up to the event. 

Know the net migration.

It's not fun (or advisable) to hold for a decade waiting on revival.Northern Virginia migration is a nice catalyst for professional and income growth in Richmond.

Some of the coastal regions don't cashflow like your midwest working-class markets, but they still have great deals and I see a major white-collar migration taking place over the next few years. 

Demand is also extremely high right now because of the great migration.

Identify few neighborhoods on micro level through networking, post questions on the forum, google street walk through,crime reports,school rating, census report on demographics and population migration etc.

The great migration powered by remote working is fueling the growth of Wenatchee and the surrounding areas.

And as you know, ag workers migrate, for the most part.So, I'd suggest you really look at the area and who your potential tenant base is.
