There's a variety of ways to get a deal in front of you (I'm mostly a flipper), but basically if it looks promising, I run custom comps queries and check the current & past $/sf of renovated/distressed product in that city or zipcode.Here's a chart on 90066 I generated from my tool under Market Stats > Sales Data > Specific Zip Code:- My above chart (more available) shows the Avg Renovated $/sf (High) over time in this Zip Code, something completely different than charts/providers based on Averages/Medians only, like every other platform (RedFin Below, https://www.redfin.com/news/data-center/):- Can't select smaller locations such as City or Zipcode for their $/sf data, so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.- Can set Zip Code for Median Sale Price data, but again it's the median/avg so it's useless helping me underwrite/verify a deal.Then if that looks decent, I'll run Sales Comps, and get a quick summary of some key metrics based on those comps.

It is important to build a team that understands the unique dynamics of this market.Given your experience and substantial equity, sounds like you're in a prime position to capitalize on new opportunities. 

I think I have about two-dozen unique fields.

. - First and foremost, and not unique to Indy, obviously interest rates have been the main character in the story for anyone looking to buy.

I'm looking for a PM group that has a reasonable monthly rate, manages tenant selection well, addresses property issues with quality, and conscientiously and actively turns properties when vacant. 

You have to go to other smaller markets in Florida to have a better selection, but pricing is still considerably higher than Detroit and your tenant pool will be smaller.

They can take time with their search and be more selective about a property’s location and condition.

Amenities for instance… Vrbo has unique amenities than Guesty or AirBNB.

The only real solution is to be well capitalized, experienced and selective, as we are.Unfortunately, what is popular and is being highly pushed on youtube is to do subject to on over leveraged properties on the MLS, that the market has already said isn't worth what the seller is asking.

I'll be honest the new building/development world is extremely tough to get into and unless you are planning to do it at scale or have a super unique way to find land/deals the risk usually isn't worth the reward.
