The data is readily available, and I will provide the data source and its relevance.To ensure we're on the same page, the goal of real estate investing is financial freedom.

This is consistent with data from sources like Zillow, Redfin, and the local Santa Barbara Association of Realtors.However, when I go to "Pick Markets" and select Santa Barbara, the median home price listed is $620,000, which doesn’t align with what I’ve observed locally.

Hey Prashant, I am a real estate agent based in SA, I'm my mainly focus is source invertors with properties

So here is what I do:1 - Get buyer criteria for what they are looking for (exact criteria)2 - Go source that criteria using data provider3 - Scrub the list and plan a marketing campaign around it (i.e) > Direct Mail > Cold Call > SMS > Online Ads > Social Media, etc4 - Once I get inbound leads coming in.

Milwaukee REIA is a resource for finding mentors, contractors, and connections to funding sources as well.

While Redfin isn’t the most reliable source for estimating the values it indicates that I have about 400k in equity.

Sourcing of funds is 100% required, every time.

I'd reach out to Shona Lepis with She's Got Assets if you're looking to source insurance companies.
