I am located in Australia

and are you located in Dallas?

I doubt we will buy off the MLS but I am trying to find a good way to visualize MLS data so that I can plan our next purchase and get a "steal" that I will have instant equity or rehab for equity with the goal of getting a decent HELOC going.Because real estate values are so location based, it is hard for me to process the data on a spreadsheet, because I'm constantly trying to project it onto a map in mind.To know if what I'm looking at is a deal, I would like to be able to see $/sq.ft. data visualized on a map with either current listings or preferably sold properties. 

Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Location How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

How many bedrooms does the property have and in what zip code is it located?

If anyone has any questions about specific locations within the Lehigh Valley, just let me know.Best,Jeremy

What's the closest "affordable" location to you?

It depends.On the property, the location, purchase price, demand in the location etc.Yes you can make it work but you must do your do diligence and run the numbers.

Compare that to Tierrasanta, where market values hover around $3.01 million for a similar project, and it’s clear that location is key to making SB-9 projects profitable.Agents, this is where you can shine.
