You would also want high traffic in front of your building, good signage, good ingress / egress, ample parking, good visibility, good tenant mix, unique stores that are not over saturated in the area, etc.  

I plan to stay away from HML and  pick up a conventional loan.Is the Atlanta market saturated yet or would you advice me to look for better agents or neighboring states?

@Roland OsageHey Roland,I can't speak to Tuscon, but Phoenix's market is just very saturated right now.

.- Jobs (growth, stability, etc)- Schools- Population growth or lackthereof - Rent Rates- Sales Prices- New home sales/ build volume (market saturation) - CrimeA good macro site is City-data.com but you will surely want to get feelers out into the local economy as well to determine the above.

Make the most of your time before you get a contract for sale to saturate yourself with market knowledge so the instant you recognize a deal you can grab it - and don't forget that you can go into contract for your purchases before you sell. 

Market just tanked recently with an abundance of buildings opening in Stamford, it's saturated. 

However, to no surprise to anyone, LA is a saturated and overpriced area. 

At the same time, the market is saturated with agents that jumped in the last 3-5 years when everything was selling easy.

Maybe I'm just clinging to the hope that it's not too saturated.
