Where's your favourite place to do market research?

[Eric Leon]

Hey all! I am a new (hopeful) real estate investor but am a little overwhelmed on where to begin. Obviously, I know picking a market should be the first step so that lead me to get lost in a sea of Google results and articles. 

Thought I'd stop by here and ask the experts; where is your favourite place to get market research when looking for a new opportunity? Do you have any go-to sites? Any other approaches you take?

Love to hear all your thoughts.
