The City of Detroit is block-by-block in many Class B & C areas.In our opinion, zip codes cover too large an area.We use Detroit Neighborhoods, which are much smaller than zip codes.

I’m trying to find a way to get her SSN, any service that provides the SSN search?

Or try the reverse - rehab a property to Class A standards in a Class D neighborhood and try to get a Class A or B tenant to rent it.Unfortunately, many newbie real estate investors are jumping into buying affordable Class C rentals - expecting Class A results.

We are buying new construction in the most desired areas of the market, and buying the smaller properties in the neighborhood, not the big ones.

Go to Meetup.com and type "real estate" or "Apartment Investing" or other search terms for your area.  

My personal thoughts are to search for "deal analysis" kinds of videos on youtube.

There are also many online calculators you can use if you do a search for them.

Since your post, I've looked into the DORA and it seems to be a great  boost for the economy right in the neighborhood I am looking at investing in. 

After a quick search it seems like Baselane is a good option, does anyone have experience with it?
