The city and county i live in has information on their websites about:
Current and future road repair and new construction
current and future zoning plans & possible annexes
Current and future utilities plans.
Current and future private development activity. Lists of subdivisions, how many homes planned etc...
i can also subscribe and get transcripts of board meetings to get up to date planning requests etc....
This can point you to the up and coming areas for the future.
Well, one rule of thumb I heard some time ago was watch where the big stores are going in. Cosco, Walmart, Home Depot. These companies spend a ton of $ researching up and coming neighborhoods based on employment, sales, etc. If you look at the history, the areas these stores go into seem to suddenly take off and become desireable places to live/rent.
I have Westfield Insurance, sold thru independent insurance agents, on all of my rental properties and two mini-storage buildings. I have had two claims in the last five years and they were super easy to work with and very prompt and fair.
That is one of the things I like about Westfield. I have "replacement" cost insurance on the structure and I have a larger liability portion for that "just in case I get sued" for one reason or another. It is nice to know if a tenant burns the place down I get paid to totally replace it, not just be paid what the appriased value happens to be.
A liitle difficult to understand yor question...........
In plain english what kind of REI are you looking at ?

Food for thought.
