How to research properties

[Jacob Robinson]

I will be honest that I am yet to be invested in real estate. I primarily have invested in index funds to this point. I am just now starting to learn some new concepts and open to real estate investing. It seems that the Midwest still has some cash flow opportunities. I’ve read some forum posts about finding opportunities in “A and B” neighborhoods. How do you research these neighborhoods? I know the criteria that encompasses what makes a neighborhood high or low quality but having trouble practically finding affordable housing in these neighborhoods.
