Some zip codes in Detroit are better than others but everything is appreciating especially closer to our downtown area.

Nothing, zip, zero. 

If you’re buyers like to buy 3 bedroom 2 bath houses in a certain neighborhood or zip code, go look for 3 bedroom 2 bath deals in those areas.

Account Closed I have had tremendous success using direct mail and mailing the owner of record where the tax bills get mailed to.Generally, property management companies don’t pay the real estate taxes so this gets me right to the owner.Targeting wise, I would just do a zip code filtered by unit count using a service like listsource.  

Your experience is not normal for Memphis and not normal for this zip code.The 38109 property is likely an absolute no-go for out-of-state investors. 

Here is a recommendation I have for you as you begin to figure out what area you want to invest in.This website is a great reference point for figuring out what each area is like. https://www.areavibes.com/It gives you a total LIVABILITY score for each street and zip code & discusses crime rate, schoolsUse this rating and classification system I have created over time to get an idea of the "Class" for the area - A class B class & so onHere is my rating & classification for each livability score.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below FBest of luck and let me know if I can help answer any questions! 

Your first challenge is - you shouldn't buy based upon zip code!

Do you assist with rental management in the 53206 zip code maybe around 16th /North?

Maybe also include City and Zip Code as columns in the sheet. 

I think there is a way to do it by zip code but that's not really granular enough.
