With iOS and Android supporting native QRcode scanning in the camera have you guys thought of using QRCode for real estate lead generation or marketing?

@Account Closed thanks for bringing that point up. I am also planning to look at the supply side but couldn't find a good source to find the information. And to accommodate the cost of living based on the different city I am planning to look at the percentage contribution of the total income(Example: 40% rent, 20% food, 10% transportation etc) which should account for the cost of living

@Ronnie Howard thanks for the tip.

@Account Closed I think I might have found where the disconnect is.  The names I gave are for some major cities/Metro areas and looks like cities with a small population are not included. (Example: Buckeye).

Let me get another view of the data solely looking at city level metrics. Thanks for your help.

@Account Closed this is from the latest census data. Here are the top 30 Metro areas as you mentioned Phoenix and Las Vegas are there but not in the top 12. Can you tell me when you say growth what metric are you using? I am using the percentage change in population.  Here are the list of top 30 for reference. 

Was looking at some data on cities growth by population and have a set of top 12 cities/metro area. Would love to hear from the community as to which area they would pick for rental property investment.

And instead of population growth if you just look at the percentage change in population you get a different set of cities but some cities are common and probably of interest to me.

Looks like  Boise City, ID,  Daphne-Fairhope-Foley, AL,  Midland TX, Provo-Orem, UT seems good on both metrics #datadriveninsights.  Would love to hear from real estate investors in those areas as to what they think about that market and any pros/cons.

Next steps I am going to dig more into employment, wages, rental vacancy and other things for the same market. Let me know which of the topic is of most interest. I will analyze that first.

Thank you.

@Scott Passman I was able to get some of the data. What data or websites do you use to get this data? Are you using any tools?

Do you folks look at economic data before making a decision or starting out?

If so what kind of data do you look at?

1) jobs created in the city yoy growth

2) increase in population of a area

What else?

@Jentry Meza can you send details about the meetup?
