hi my name is victor i have been interested in real estate investing for a while now and me and my wife are currently looking for our first personal home. we are thinking about making this home kind of a long term flip. we want to buy a home in a location where most people around here want to live renovate it in a way that would attract most home buyers in our area 
i would like some advice on :

how to analyze our current market to find out where people generally want to live 

what houses are people generally looking for 

what renovations get the best return on capital
