@Ryan VanDuyneThere is no hard and fast methodology for assessing multifamily neighborhoods.Nonetheless, there are a few things to consider: Median household incomeMedian property valueGoogle street view and take a tour of the neighborhoodLocal amenitiesStrength and diversity of local economyCrimeAlso use the MLS and Realtor.com to get data on listed propertiesListing agent to get documentsSome good online resources I use: City-data (extensive database)Rentometer.comPadmapperZillow/Trulia/Redfin: good for SFRs + reports/tools.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that diversity enables greater industry excellence.
