I've been wondering what resources everyone uses to examine a property when they can't see it immediately or at all.I haven't invested yet but I've been using the MLS to find properties, BiggerPockets to run numbers, Google Maps' to examine what the neighborhood looks like through Street View and what businesses, if any, are nearby, Zillow's Lot Lines to see nearby property values at a glance, Rentometer to find out average and median rent price for the area (although it's no longer letting me analyze properties for free, sadly) and Great Schools .org to find out what the district is like for any potential family moving in.If anyone has additional sites or apps they regularly or sometimes use, let me know!
