@John NeffSome great books with real in depth detail are here on bigger pockets.

For in-depth property information, feel free to send me a direct message. 

They offer flat 99/mo management full service management for single families which is nice when you have a 120k investment producing 1300+/mo.Feel free to message me if you want to chat more in depth.

Now the real question after saying that is "when is the down turn"All down turns where right after a false flourishing economy (aka the correction), always when governments play God to manipulate the natural economy, always always it will get things jacked up.

My question is, what are some great sources to find more in depth information about certain locations/neighborhoods? 

A number of these questions have been covered in depth throughout the forums in some form or another.

I need to start researching areas more in-depth though; because I'm still not very knowledgeable of the important factors in evaluating an area.   

I am writing a book on retail but mine will not go real in depth for syndication as it is more geared toward the investor and evaluating properties.Additionally you can look at the Value Hound Academy to learn how to put packages together and training etc.Not making specific endorsements just giving information.

The only people making money wholesaling are the guys selling you all of that education.To be successful connecting buyers and sellers you need to haveAn in depth knowledge of the market.Marketing skills.Sales skills.Negotiation skills.Accurately estimate rehab costs.Understand how to much time it would cost to run a renovation on the properties you are presenting.My advice get a real estate license.

As a new invester, when looking at Auctioned Real Estate how in depth should I go, and how should I raise  capital to purchase these potential opportunities?
