Do any of you weigh schools particularly heavily in your decisions to invest in a given market?

It is heavily saturated with medical staffing coming in and out of the area.

So with all parks myself and partners are looking at we are heavily discounting that income.

I am more heavily invested in stocks than real estate because of the accessibility a brokerage account offered when I was fresh out of college.

The Orlando Disney market is heavily saturated in the smaller size properties (4 bedrooms or less) rented on Airbnb.

Luckily, we are heavily regulated with zoning and STR IS only allowed in certain areas of Branson, this avoids over saturation.  

Of course continue to read everything you can, be heavily involved on here, read all of the forums and blogs you can on here. 

Nobody is going to do infill affordable housing, there is no money in it unless its heavily subsidized or the city gives away the land.

It's mind boggling to me when I come across people (mostly realtors or people heavily in the RE industry) that have zero retirement other than rent houses.

I can tell you honestly (from investor's point of view), it isn't because of my husband was a Buckeyes alumni, but we invested heavily both in Columbus & Indianapolis...Nothing can beats Columbus in terms of Cash Flow & Appreciation when you bought it 3 years ago.
