How conduct analysis on different locations

[Marc Peterman]

Hey everyone, 

Two part question.
What information should I look for in different areas that I potentially want to invest in? 

Any particular sites that would be more helpful than others to gather the information I should be comparing from the question above? (Maybe possibly one sight to get all the economic data, demographic data, business data, and etc?)

Thanks for the help.

It is developed monthly and provides a summary of the population growth (via census), job growth (via BLS), affordability is a review of the local median income to mortgage payment ratio (includes local property taxes and insurance), and yield (local median rent compared to local home prices as well as includes property taxes and insurance).

It's a summary for each metro! Very simply and easy to read, but has crucial indicators that everyone should know about their markets
