So it makes sense to choose a home that will make a good rental right from the start.Common factors that real estate investors consider when choosing a good rental property include:The neighborhood, which will influence the type of tenants the home will attract and the rent they can afford to pay.Property tax rates, which vary widely from one place to the next and can have a significant impact on the total return of a rental home.School district quality, crime rate, and overall neighborhood ratings affect occupancy levels and the overall value of the home.Job market and population growth are two indicators real estate investors consider to help predict the future demand from tenants for rental housing.Housing Price Index (HPI) and Housing Affordability Index (HAI) are two other metrics investors use to anticipate rental property demand, because when home prices are unaffordable more people may choose to rent rather than own.Average rents and rent growth also affect where to buy a home to house hack, since the rental income will be used to pay for part of the mortgage and other expenses.
