How to find a good place for real estate investment
Do you want to invest in real estate, but where? You can make money in this business as long as you know an area well and has a lot of experience in property investing. However, there are always places in America where real estate investments are better – places where the demand/supply ratio is much better. You can find these places easily by answering questions below.

2. Is the jobless percentage low? Find out if the job growth in the area is equal or above population growth. It is important that the area has a decent growth of job so that people will be capable of paying their home’s monthly mortgage payment.

3. Wealth in the area? When there is some degree of wealth in the area means that everything doesn’t die when the economy slows down. Drive around town and count rich families with luxury homes.
Supply Questions
1. How many new homes have been constructed in the past ten years? Check the local housing authorities for the records of newly constructed homes in the last decade. The figures can show you if they have issued more or less permits than the expected population growth.
2. Are rental vacancies low? When we first came in West Haven, we saw a man holding a sign saying “Affordable apartments for rent – $200 Per Month.” This means a great place for renters, but not a good place for real estate investments.
3. Is there more vacant lot available? The property prices will start appreciating when the land runs out. So it is better to choose a place where available land that is buildable is less.
