Hello to all,I am new to the site and new to real estate.

@Sushil IyerWith my experience, to analyze properties effectively, you can start with resources like MLS listings, Crexi/Loopnet, tax assessor websites, or paid tools like Costar and Reonomy.

Mostly house flipping community, but will be  relevant to others.

Plenty of resources here to get familiar with to gain insight on your REI journey.

The best will often ask for nothing until they set foot on the jobsite and really start with site set-up and demo. 

The low entry costs and upside make it worth considering, especially for someone investing from out of state.If Detroit’s on your radar or you’re curious to learn more, feel free to DM me—I can point you to some resources that might help.
