Neighborhood Analysis

Judge the area around a property — who wants to live there, what it rents for, and where it is heading.

When to use

• A property is under consideration and location is the swing factor.
• Two deals differ mainly by neighborhood.

Steps

1. Pull comparable rents and sales within a tight radius.
2. Read demand signals — jobs, schools, transit, and vacancy.
3. Check the risks: crime trend, flood, and any pending zoning.
4. Assess the trajectory: improving, stable, or declining.
5. Summarize what it means for rent and resale.

Output

A neighborhood read: comps, demand, risks, and trajectory, following the [[Buy box]]. Feeds the underwriting and the offer.
