There are many factors, as with any real estate market:(1) Location. 

Yes, I use Zillow reporting as a start and look at other factors.

Is it driven by higher rents in that market or what's the underlying factor from what you have seen?  

That will be a determining factor for where it makes sense for you to purchase.Regarding waiting - bear in mind a lot of people were predicting rates in 2024 would be in 5% range or low 6s, which didn't turn out to be the case.

All important factors to consider- population growth or decline, job growth or decline, inventory rate and movement- is is a seller's market getting stronger or softer or a buyer's market getting stronger or softer?

Influence or control can lead to a beneficial owner even if you own little equity.Also it is 20 FT EEs AND $5M Revenue AND a physical office.

There’s also a scorecard that gets released based upon many factors.  

@Theresa Amouzou A lot of factors go into finding good deals.

Now some choose to do it with TK companies and give up the control factor that you have with your investments.

@Eli Fazzo, Almost every location is going to have some surprises that you just have to factor in when looking at investing in real estate.
