Gauging the Neighborhood from Afar

[Jeff G.]

I'm a wholesaler in CT and I'm just starting out. I've been at this about 2 months and change. I've found good tools for analyzing properties, including rent-o-meter pro for analyzing rental comps extremely quickly. But median rent is one thing and the amount of pain you have to go through in order to extract it is another.

Is there a good tool out there for analyzing neighborhoods or several square blocks for things like average credit score/rental turnover, etc? This way I can get a feel for "A," "B," "C," and, "D" neighborhoods without having to leave my desk? I realize a ton of this is individual tenant screening but some areas attract certain strata of tenants (and no better) and others aren't as problematic in this regard.

Ideally this would be something on par with Trulia's area crime reports that I could easily print out and make a standard part of the property dossier I provide one of my cash buyers.

Thanks in advance!
