Some things to research and look for are population trends, job growth, employer diversity, universities, rental demand, surrounding construction/development, nearby Starbucks - the list goes on.

I'd start with looking at nearby states.

Find you an old hair mentor that will spill his guts for a cup of coffee.  

PM me and we can meet up for coffee or lunch.

Any nearby members interested in networking please feel free to reach out to me. 

Let me know if you’d like to meet up and grab coffee sometime.

Very, often these services have been built up over hundreds of years.. schools, hospitals, art galleries, government agencies, restaurants, coffee shops.. in fact, if people decide to work from home more, these neighborhoods will still be desirable places to live.That's not to say a lot of people won't choose to move to the burbs and buy a house with a big home office etc instead of a 2-bed apartment in the City.

Otherwise why expect you would have greater than 50-70% occupancy unless you marketed heavily to nearby apartments.

Or if you just want to grab a coffee and talk real estate (house hacking especially) I'd be happy to do so!

I want to verify the information but don’t know how to approach it with other nearby neighbors.
