You should check if the bank feeds work with your bank otherwise, it's a deal breaker unless you don't mind manually doing the data entry.

If that's the case, check out some of the economic data about what cities have strong job and population growth.

Curious some data points / arguments / etc. other BP users have used in the past to argue how and why a project would benefit the community.

Whether you’re looking at SFHs, duplexes, or other properties, it’s important to pair on-paper data with boots-on-the-ground knowledge to really get a sense of values.If you’re considering anything serious in Detroit, I’d recommend connecting with someone who knows the market inside and out.

I like the idea of pre-foreclosure especially, but have not found up to date data for that specifically.

@Chris Seveney - Where do you get your data on US treasury demand - per your "very weak demand" comment? 

After inputting all the data, they provide a review that includes cash flow, Cash-on-Cash (CoC) ROI, and even a graph to estimate the property's growth through appreciation, yearly cash flow growth, and loan paydown.

Then you are making that decision based on the data for the area and that unit..... not on who lives there already

I do like all the data that Stessa provides for investors.

I don't have the skill set YET to gauge rehab costs and try to BRRRR, but I'd like to learn.This is definitely a choice but my option is that you will do better if you focus on duplexes and cherry-pick a few SFRs as you come across them.As for your Strengths, it sounds like you have an excellent ability to save and your ability to bulk analyze data will serve you well to identify big-picture areas, property types, and characteristics to focus on.I like that you realize the first investment will not be your best investment.
