Market Analysis Fundamentals (BRRRR focused)

[Brian Kittner]

Hey BP fam,

Are there any books / bodies of knowledge you would recommend on data-driven approaches to analyzing real estate markets?

I'm looking to find interesting markets for potential long-distance BRRRR investment. I'm new to performing market research of this kind, and want to make an informed decision on where to focus my efforts. Where would you recommend a newbie start?

Thanks!

@Sean Lynch

totally agree.  was just throwing it out as an example of a market less expensive than northern NJ but still within driving distance.  allentown PA even less.  etc.

and it's all competitive now.  just wanted to make the point that OP should stay local / in person / hands on.

 Allentown is a great example of a thriving market. Thats the primary market that i do business in- happy to talk to anyone about it. Currently working on a 24 unit development project personally and have some seller finance deals in the pipeline if anyone wants them!
