Direct answer

Population/job growth → median income → rent-to-income → supply pipeline → landlord-friendliness → property class map.

Expanded explanation

Start macro (BLS, Census), then submarket-level (Zillow, RentCafe). Visit 2–3 times before buying. Interview local PM about tenant base and seasonal patterns.

Examples

  • Boise: 2.5% pop growth + diversified jobs + $80k MHI + 18mo supply pipeline.
