Is there a major employer in the area?

Hi BP community,I'm relatively new to this online community and to active real estate investing in general.

Seems to me in general people are working and have a family, sleeping, eating, cleaning, maintaining a pet and a car is all a major % of their time, they don't or can't or won't spend the time needed to be expert/comfortable enough to participate in and be good at stock investing for example.
