Quote from @Brian Bowen: Is there a good free method or resource to find owner contact information?  

There are a ton of resources here on the forum so I would read up.Next you want to make sure STRs are legal in your area.

•Are there any specific resources or tools you recommend for market analysis?

If you are using a full service PM they take 25% off the top.  

It's also worth mentioning that I already have a good relationship with a wholesaler in town who knows other good contacts, and I am able to use some of these contacts as good resources for general knowledge and learning how it all works.I recently had to close my business of 9 years, and so instead of getting a W2 job or start some other "normal" business, I'd much rather prefer to have house flipping be my primary source of income. 

I’ve pinpointed the top five neighborhoods where the potential for a high return on investment (ROI) is strongest.

Of course, if you are doing a lot of buying and selling, it is always good to know who the players are because there are some that do top quality work and others that do not.

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.

Top notch investor.

Most wholesaling firms will make an agent put their commission on top of the deal so why would your investor do that when they could cut you out of the deal.
