The Investor's Playbook Podcast: How We Choose Investment Markets (and Why Most People Choose Wrong)

Market selection is one of the most emotional parts of real estate investing. Many investors chase the cities that appear on “hottest markets” or “best places to invest” lists, assuming visibility means viability.
In this episode, John Blackburn and Nate Hall break down how experienced investors actually evaluate markets and why the best long-term opportunities are rarely the ones making headlines. Instead of chasing hype, they focus on stable fundamentals like employment diversity, population size, cost of living, and price-to-rent ratios.
They also explain why having the right team and property manager in a market often matters more than the market itself. Even strong economic fundamentals can fall apart if the property operations are poorly managed, while a well-run team can make stable markets perform consistently over time.
This episode highlights why seasoned investors prioritize steady, “boring” markets that reward patience rather than chasing short-term growth or trending cities.
