Pre Qualification models for rentals in other cities

[Levi T.]

We all know our own cities; what' are good locations and what are bad, or edge of hell, as well what is prime to improve in a short number of years. I'm interested in hearing any models others are using to identify properties in other cities. For example I know most properties a few blocks from college, or close to a military base are solid indicators if the numbers work, but what else. All major operations use some type of model that's a lot more complex, for example, Walmart or Sheetz gas station have some type of population and traffic to housing location model that works. Thanks in advanced. Type on my phone.
