Finding Them

Jennifer Hamric

I am stuck. I understand driving for dollars and that being the best way to find houses that meet my criteria. And what to look for once I get to the point of actually driving.

But, in order to drive, I need to know how to search for neighborhoods to drive. What am I looking for in terms of recently sold? Prices? Schools? Employment? Household income? Property Values? (also, how do I find property values in certain areas as my tax assessor doesn't show a map) Etc?

What tools should I be using? Zillow? City-data? Trulia?

If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great! :)

Thank you so much! :)

Jennifer, 

I know Myrtle Beach has a strong military presence, might be an option for buy and holds and flips.

I would make sure the house is able to qualify for VA financing when its completed.
