And what resources/websites do you like use to analyze a market for things like: job growth, population growth, unemployment rates, crime rate, what big companies/firms are there/moving in, etc.? 

I am building a 12 unit glamping resort and want to setup a direct booking website.

I recommend styling your tables, adding a theme and just making the property have more personality.

What kind of resources, websites, or people should I start talking to so I can understand how to buy a home? 

All in all, the city really looks down on Ellis Act evictions, who knows what other future legislation will affect you in doing that type of eviction.Note that if you do an owner move-in for the non-protected tenants, you'll only have to pay them around $6k per tenant (double check the city website to confirm).

The whole house looks on-theme and inoffensive. 

There are now a few website platforms where they list houses with assumable loans like Assumable (I think .io) and Roam.  

I have gone through ALDOR to purchase and I’ve also purchased through a broker, but I was looking to see if there were websites that also listed them that I could take a look at?

Glad you joined the best real estate investing website! 

I came across a website - myhousedeals.com - that claims to find wholesale deals for you in the area you choose.
