Look up the nail patterns for coastal areas.

Posting for the first time on Bigger Pockets.Do not know if this is even the right forum...Background is not in real estate but in Data Analytics/Data Science - analyzing and determining patterns in large data sets (millions of rows of complex data).Interested in initially researching before actually investing.Really would like to determine the type of data that I should review to quickly determine if the local market has potential or not.

Here is county growth data: https://www.businessinsider.com/fastest-growing-and-shrinking-counties-in-america-2019-4Another look at census data: https://census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/visualizations/2019/comm/percent-pop-change-metro-micro.jpgPeople fleeing NY: https://www.newyorkupstate.com/western-ny/2019/04/census-new-yorkers-still-fleeing-state-population-decline-spreads-to-nyc-area.html43% of CA voters say they can't afford to live there: https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/08/43-percent-of-california-residents-say-they-cant-afford-to-live-there.htmlNext up, US population dispurses to Suburbs, rural areas and "middle of country" metros: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2018/03/26/us-population-disperses-to-suburbs-exurbs-rural-areas-and-middle-of-the-country-metros/Here is actual flow map of migration patterns in the US based on census: https://flowsmapper.geo.census.gov/map.htmlCheers! 

Email me ;-)I have to say my lessons learned follow the same pattern (although no need for Green Berets to collect the rent) @Mary B There is enough room for an organizer to take the lead.

I would also say the same about @Jonathan R.There's a pattern that's emerging here of people who work in this space.

Any thoughts or info is appreciated so thank you in advance.Cheers, ChrisConsult with a real estate attorney immediately and seek guidance.What you are doing is a felony in Washington State.RCW 61.34.030Criminal penalty.Any person who wilfully engages in a pattern of equity skimming is guilty of a class B felony under RCW 9A.20.021.

Everyone has the up-most integrity and Nick and his staff aren't afraid to kick someone out of the group and blacklist them if they exhibit a repeat pattern of unethical or shady work. 

They can look nice too with the colors/patterns/material mimicking they have these days.

The $12 per month will make up in the long term if a claim ever has to be made.Sad to say the weather patterns are changing rapidly and we are in Tornado Alley, as well as we have pretty decent hail storms with great risks of repeat flooding in some areas.

That said, there is areas in explosive growth pattern, support by planned city development, and for the smarty-pant's who put int he work to know those plan's ("ehe-hum") appreciation becomes a mathematical item vs guess-work.
