Here is my question for the community - what factors do you look at when evaluating the health of a market from afar? 

Efficient landlords know to repair and bill as the tenancy progresses to avoid major costs at turn over.

My question was more about taking into consideration all of those things you mentioned and analyzing the difference of risk involved, and how investors would evaluate or underwrite the deals differently. 

For the buy n hold investors, how do you analyze and evaluate deals?

I would appreciate advice on how to evaluate this opportunity.

@Eric Siebert The use of  Zillow and other sites can help you evaluate market values and rent prices to get a general idea.

In any case - I would re-evaluate the ARV to make sure you have it correct and go base off of that.  

-After a good credibility and standing of our legal entity is built, get int BRRRR strategy to build passive cash flow-Get into commercial lease real estate, again BRRRR strategy as it is not only evaluated by comp method, but based on producing income, that will allow bigger profit after rehab and refinance.

Anyways, this isn't intended to open a big can on what metrics to use when evaluating income property.  

Each was a progression as we sold to move on so we weren't using existing properties as leverage.
