Hence, I'm looking for research tools and detailed data to help me narrow my search down to one market!

A big part of this was the belief that there simply wasn't any way out of the situation I was in except maybe a very narrow educational out to the middle class.The first rule of life for me was to HAVE RICH PARENTS.

I have narrowed it down to RP Capitol (Ron Phillips) and Memphis invest as turnkey/semi turnkey companies.

@Justin Lockee okay so that narrows it down.

Have you narrowed in on any properties yet?

What can be inferred from this narrow gap? 

One important thing you can do to limit your liability is to create a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and take title in the name of the LLC.Taking title in the LLC instead of individually will limit your liability to the value of the real estate and will insulate you from personal liability (there are several narrow exceptions to this not discussed in this post).

From there, you can type triplex or quadplex, or other variations, to narrow down the search. 

I often find myself looking way too far away, I feel like narrowing down the areas I look in will make it a lot easier.

This will narrow down potential locations for your investment.
