Familiarize yourself with the areas where investors are active, and research property values and rents.

One thing I suggest doing as you do your research as well is to find a property on AirBnB that you like. 

However, if there is not an emergency or immediate need, then we will do our research on quotes or take our time figuring out how we would do it ourselves and make the time to do it.

Anyone with the capabilities to do basic research knows and understands this. 

Start by exploring books, YouTube channels, market research, and analyzing trends in neighborhoods.

Best way to understand this is research appraisal standards and means. 

Have you done any research on purchasing property locally?

Have done some preliminary research and will do a deep dive, just wanted to see what folks thought of there were any obvious reasons why or why not or any markets similar that I should be considering.

What research have you done on this company?

from my advice rural properties and developments aren't successful and you are climbing an uphill battle. sounds a little niche. we focus on developing and not reinventing the wheel. if this is truly what you want to focus all your time and energy on then visit the closest 5-10 of these that look like the ones you are interested and ask if they'd expand or build a secondary one. do a lot of research before you just take action
