I've looked at the general sense of income in certain areas around the midwest but are there specifics on how to exactly to analyze the particular cities job growth, base salaries, and rent to income ratios?

David Sanford I think you can grow the business faster and larger with a partner since two people working together can do more.

We drive the neighborhoods we are interested in when we can.

I look at Population & Job Growth, what major Industries/ Employers are in the market, major Airports ease of traveling from NYC to my new market, traveling costs etc, Purchase price to rent ratio I follow the 1% rule but in hot markets it gets harder to find.Markets depends on what you are looking for, if you want positive cash flow every there are a lot of markets that can accomplish this.

When I am looking for properties I am making sure the county does not have any liens on the public records and I am physically driving by the properties before I purchase the lien.

Once on the site you're going to look at population growth (positive or negative), unemployment rate, home price and some other things.

I'm meeting with the folks at Virtua High Growth Fund IV today. 

Based on my limited experience attending this particular tax sale, the difference in the purchase price on the two properties would likely be pretty close to my estimate for the difference in repair cost.I am now wondering if I would rather have a property that I have to drive a long way to meet contractors occasionally, or meet contractors regularly close by.
