Hey guys I was wondering if you have any websites or apps I can use to type in ZIP Codes and see if the area I’m looking at is good or bad. I remember Branden saying on a podcast a website and I just can’t seem find that podcast so I figured I’d post on here and see if you guys could give me some help. it’s very important to me that when I buy my first property it’s in a area Where I’ll be able to attract good tenants. Thanks! -Tom Calkins
