This helps give you a 30,000 over view of what a potential city/zip/street is like https://www.areavibes.com/It gives you a total livability score and this is the criteria I have come up with over time.80 and above A+78/79 A76/77 A-74/75 B+72/73 B70/71 B-68/69 C+66/67 C64/65 C-60/63 D59 and below FCheers from Fort Worth, TX 

The housing explosion of the late 90s/early 2000s saw expansion to the outer portions of the city and 4-plexes were not a part of that expansion.

I started by going through the posts here using the search function and then trying to connect with the realtors and investors and whole salers and lenders specific to the city I am interested in!!

FYI in cleveland when the city sees the owner as an out of state entity you are put right in the cross hairs and they will literally go measure the grass and fine you and make it a criminal offense. so in cuyahoga county yes i agree to use a LLC but I would do an ohio one.

Landlords are going to have to fix these properties, and with many cities looking for affordable housing solutions, these owners may be in trouble.Renting appears to be more in demand, and is currently cheaper than buying.

If you are outside of the city limits you work with Fannin County and the process is pretty painless.

The plan is to build a modern two-story 3200 sq ft house, 4 BD, 4.5 BH house with a garage. 

I visited Boise Idaho last year and just got back from Kansas City, both of which seem like great markets.

I’ve had clients pay $100k for a sewer line though (commercial properties, complicated lines running under parking lots, sidewalks, landscaping and the bid includes replacing the landscaping too, etc. or requiring a permit from the city to close off the road for the day with traffic control, etc.).

(IE: "no money down investing", or "best cities to invest", etc....)
