@Matthew McCarty At the beginning of my investing career, I was constantly looking at websites like Zillow and Redfin to see what houses are selling for so that I have a good feeling on the market I picked.

I know investing with family can possibly hurt relationships if things don't go well, so I don't want to make any big mistakes since this is a large amount of my parents inheritance. 

Achieving excellence in anything generally requires an extreme amount of dedication and time commitment, time that could have been spent doing a thousand other things.

What are your long term goals (eg do you want to buy another house) and do you have a large savings set aside for unexpected expenses? 

Quote from @Monish Anand: Start by looking for personal recommendations from investors in that market, then look on realtor.com or a google search.DO NOT use agents suggested by a website like realtor, Zillow, etc.

My goals are small multifamily to financial freedom with potential to scale to large multifamily for great success.
