Which market should I choose? Why are investors choosing certain markets?

[Andres Murillo]

I review this doc with nearly every new client I work with. I thought I'd get some feedback from the BP community.

What's plotted here is "why are investors choosing this market". For example, investors are choosing Sacramento over Charlotte because the market is "more established and expects higher growth", however, investors are choosing Huntsville over Atlanta because "properties cost less and cash flow better". Hope this explanation makes sense. 

New Investors: Does this help to understand how to compare your market choices?

Experienced Investors: Do you agree? (lol. I know this will cause some uproar) What feedback do you have?

How does it factor in weather (tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, blizzards), state income tax (compared to zero in SD, FL, TX, NV, TN, WY), landlord vs tenant tilt, population growth and migration from NE, Midwest and parts of CA to FL,TX,AZ,NV.

You want to skate to where the puck is going, not where it was. 

But, I do appreciate the work you’re putting in to it. And I’m happy to see people are starting to appreciate appreciation and understand cashflow isn’t the end all be all.
