Where are you located?

You control a 1.5M asset for $35k and get to live in an amazing location.

Purchase price: $450,000 Cash invested: $450,000 Centrally located near Shopping, Entertainment, Transportation and much more.

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. 

Do you invest in the Midwest or you're physically located there?

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.
