Investing anywhere is extremely difficult right now.

Hello all,I have a tenent that has had a history of being disrespectful and difficult, however has paid rent on time. 

Power outages, flooding, it was difficult if not impossible to get any contractors to come do any repair or clean up. 

Wholesaling to a retail buyer is difficult.....title is not in your name, if allowed they would have to pay an assignment fee outside of closing. 

If you have nothing to bring to the table you will find it difficult

What kind of research do you do to avoid buying property in an area that might be difficult to rent?

Multi-family is a more difficult buy especially for a newer investor. 

They are tearing down the Viaduct and you will have difficult access trying to get out of town. 

I'm curious if you have any advice on focusing my attention to another market; do you think it's too difficult for a beginner?
