Finding Good Neighborhoods

[Bryan Dumesnil]

Hello all,

I am located in south Louisiana and i am wanting to do my first flip. I find that there are way too many properties to look through and i believe I need to narrow down my search a bit. I would like to invest in a nicer neighboorhood; somewhere people want to live, that way when the flip is complete I do not have an issue selling the property. Does anyone have any advice for finding good neighborhoods in a local area short of driving through an entire city? I know my local cities pretty well but I also understand that a city can hold hidden gems that are not easy to find. For the record, I plan to only invest in the immediate cities around me for the time being. Those cities include New Iberia, Broussard, Youngsville, Patterson, Bayou Vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks everyone!
