We get the most hits off of Zillow, Trulia, and Hot Pads.  

Most of my earlier flips were in Dunwoody, with several in the areas of Chamblee and Doraville that were hot and trendy at the time.  

It's going to be older/neglected real estate, so the sellers will generally go along with it if it helps get the house sold.Example:Identified a below-grade un-permitted basement bathroom with a jenky pump lifting the toilet waist up to ground level and into the sewer system that was all sorts of a hot mess, no way anything about that bathroom is up to code. 

@Mykael WilliamsonThanks for reaching out.Nashville is a hot market right now.  

It's another long-term hold (20+ years) in a super hot neighborhood -- can I rent it for a year, renovate & sell and still be taxed as gains on a personal residence and not the ordinary income flip rate?

Welcome to Bigger Pockets @Mike Hotness !  

One of the issues you're going to run into is that SC as a whole is a pretty hot market.

The rental market out there is extremely hot and I was able to get a renter in the property the day after I closed!

If you attempted doing that as a real estate licensee, that would be an ethics violation that could put you in hot water and wind up costing you hundreds to thousands of dollars in fines. 

In such a hot market, there lies great potential for wholesaling that many don't even think is possible.
