city-data.com is a great site for checking out stats on a placemacro factors to consider:population growth ratediversity and depth of economysocioeconomic and racial diversity of a populationfinancial depth (does locality have good access to capital, plenty of retail banking options, ideally investment banking level of commercial and capital fluidity)past property appreciationother important factors to consider:proximity to where you are and how that aligns with your use PM or self manage strategyactual property analysisfinancial analysisproject /rehab analysisimmediate surrounding area analysisget whatever conversations with locals you can (I've found talking to neighbors can sometimes reveal nuggets of gold)regulatory analysisget some feedback from people that have been through the process in terms of permitting/etccheck public records (my view is that the more available and the more consistent, the better)that's all I can think of for now but all have their importance and from what you've shared what makes you NOT do a deal is far more important than what makes you DO a deal.
