If you were going to analyze an area cold, say moving from never have visited to purchasing a commercial property, what are some of the tools you'd use to determine various data, such as; DemographicsWho is moving there?

I feel like my Single Family Residence Analysis template has actually been pretty good in determining fair value.

He can help with the first step, which is to determine the true market value.  

I have more free time then I would like, so I spend countless hours browsing the internet to find blogs, books, videos, and discussion forums to learn from.

@Justin Wotton  You need to figure out whether he will truly represent you and your interests or comes across as having commission breath - meaning that he's focusing on his interests above yours.You can determine that by the way he answers questions and if you're visiting a property, whether he is actively looking for defects to point out. 

So I will let the deal determine the strategy. 

One of them is a good friend of mine and the other one is a young lady who works at the hospital and says “I’m just looking for a bed”, and honestly imaging she's going to be super quite and practically not even there... but I am curious as to how to determine who would be the better tenant, while also not being a greedy piece of 💩...I want to help them both, but also trying to be a savvy businessman, I don't know what the right answer is? 

That includes all utilities and internet.

So my question is, is there a contract that I can get from RocketLawyer or on the internet that protects me from the cash buyer talking to the realtor or seller and making a separate deal even when the house is under contract.

Have you considered assessing your portfolio to determine which ones are the highest maintenance headache (or time-consuming tenant, neighborhood tenant quality) or which ones have appreciated notably over your original purchase (sometimes they are both and the same) and might want to consider selling while the market is in a relatively good place?
