what makes the market better? (CMA)

Hello Bp

Hey I been coming across houses that look like deals but are really not. What should I watch out for and what are good things to look for before purchasing a property. I know in some communities, "schools" may be a driving factor  and the supply and demand of property values will go up. Lakes might be a good thing, but you might have high insurance that would kills cash flow. I know people like to live close to freeways, downtown, hospitals etc and other fancy communities. crime rate will lower value of the property. The best way I found out is to call realtors in that area who are selling to find out why houses are selling higher because every community has their own personality.

So the overall question is what can make an area more desirable?

what should I watch out for?
