Tools use to analyze a property

Hello BP folks,

I live in Seattle and looking for my first investment property in Texas or Florida. I'm mostly focusing on SFH or 2-4 unit multi-family with a 450k budget. I need help with tools/websites used by other folks for the following purposes:

1. Cash flow: Website or tool to run property analyses and see if it is cash flow positive. I tried https://www.calculator.net because it's free but I'm sure there are better tools out there, maybe the one BP provides.

2. Area type: How to check if the property is in the A/B/C area?

3. Crime rate: What's acceptable in terms of crime rate? Let's say I target Orlando, what value is acceptable?

4. Rent estimate: Any good website to analyze the ballpark rent for the property?

I know most of the above things can be answered by my real estate agent and the property management company but I would love to run the numbers by myself to cross-verify.

Thanks,

Rachit
