When research markets for things like demographics, wage growth population growth , and attracting the creative class; what websites or specific data do you pull where do you get your information and what numbers and specific trends do you look for most when choosing to invest buy and hold wether commercial or residential?

Just thinking ahead to when this property becomes vacant and trying to make it into something a little more attractive.

There is some upside to raising the rents and doing some reno on units that make this particularly attractive.  

In processing this deal in my head, there are some sticking points about the construction of the house that would make it less attractive to buyers.  

That would be a super attractive property to have in my porfolio with  lower than normal operating costs.

They could sell the first position note (which would be at an attractive rate) and hold the 2nd (which would be as close to negative as I can get it) but even then running 19 buildings for a few grand a month seems pointless when there's easier money here. 

However, the sell price is looking attractive.

In other words, attracting that out-of-state money is consistent with a common theme in regional success. 

I've learned a well-rehabbed unit will attract interest from many types.Many middle-class renters are deathly afraid of any and every low-income neighborhood. 

At 63 years old, I don't see building a "downline" with KW to be a meaningful attraction.
