Hey, Harry!

I haven't had any luck searching for a tool that gives specific information on the class of a neighborhood. However, you can get a fair amount of info that'd help you determine what class it's in by looking for a Neighborhood Scout report.

There's a decent amount of 1-5 star ratings that could help you get a better idea if it's a neighborhood you want to invest in. 

Hope this helps, and good luck finding the right neighborhood!

Hey there, Dominique!

Good question! If I'm understanding you correctly, I'd recommend you check out Zillow or Realtor. They've got details about houses on the market such as the price, type of home, bed & bath count, square feet, and more. A lot of these listings will also have some pictures of the interior, so you can get an idea of how much renovation the property might need.

All of these variables are used when analyzing properties and calculating deals. If you're still stuck wondering what variables you need to consider, check out the BiggerPockets calculators and look at what factors they ask for when calculating a deal, and you'll know what you need to find.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for your response, @Mitch Messer!

I really appreciate the thoughts you put out there. Those are some of the creative financing ideas I’m looking for. I know there’s many ways for me to get what I’m wanting.

In regards to my age, yeah, I’m aware I’m still pretty young to be focusing all my energy on real estate. I’ve been learning about it for the past two years, so I’m relatively familiar with the field now, but I’m looking to get experience.

I think my next most important step is probably to get a mentor. Thanks for your help! I appreciate the advice.

Hello!

I am 17 years old and looking for ways to finance deals. As of right now, I am too young to get a loan on a house with my name in it. I am relatively new to the concept of seller financing, but I understand you can make some better deals with this method.

My question is can I fund a deal through seller financing for a property even though I am underage to get typical bank loans for houses?

This could be something that's completely case by case, but I was curious if there might be some official regulations or whatever. If not seller financing, what would be some other methods you would use to finance a deal when you're underage?

Thanks!
