And be extra conservative because you don't have solid data.

For any type of crime data, you can check the local police department's websites.

I'm not sure what the regulations are for how many mobile homes I can put on that property for the size and traditional websites have no data for the rental market in that area for me to gauge the market for myself.  

Now for the easy part:Get a list of all the properties in the area you like from the county (tax roll list) or a data company.  

We all need to be honest about our city and the way an investor should go about researching and investing here and the more data we can share...everyone wins.  

Start w/ the desired end result, and work backwards through the data to see how much you need to spend and when/where to achieve your goals.    

I am curious to learn and explore this area and hence I am here.

I have a blog with some classic books (all probably free at library ) on the topic..finally, it might be worth exploring getting new efficient ac, furnaces, hvac rolled into the loan (as that is like 15-20 percent of the deal) but may be tough to do before closing....or maybe tap equity in a few years for that...best of luck

However, it wasn’t until the 1990s when geodemographics became very important to businesses seeking to make wise decisions about where to locate.I first wrote about the lifestyle cluster data available from Esri back in 2009, and since that time, the ways that the data can be accessed has become easier than ever.

Aside from traditional lender financing, I'd like to make sure I've explored options to put less money down than 20% and potentially find a better rate than at a local/commercial bank.
