He's one of the better traders ever and where I learned to trade.Psychology - Mark Douglas.

all of these investments are long term.. if your going to play the ups and downs then it needs to be your day job and or like some guys i know that are micro traders and sit at there computer making 10 to 15 minutes trades.. to me its way to boring. 

There are probably other variables I would add (5 year GDP, crime stats, sports teams, number of Targets/Walmarts, number of Whole Foods/Trader Joe's, Fortune 1000 Companies, major universities, last 5 years of population growth, price/income, price/rent) and also add a weighting system, but I think it's a good start.I'm making my own spreadsheet for this purpose.Search market analysis here on BP for other helpful forums.

@Jack Trader I checked my files but no longer have that specific lease.At the time we didn't do a background check per se as it was an old well established Corp. 

With sites like paperstac, whole loan traders and servicing companies, it’s not easy having steady income as a broker

If you wait until Whole Foods and Trader Joe's arrives, you're about 10-20 years too late!

With business such as Chick Fil A, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Etc opening up shop.

@Michael L. that might benefit you if you are a professional trader and have trader tax status so you would be able to deduct losses that would be regarded as ordinary rather than capital.
