@Michael James Hamlin I'm a former tax accountant/business consultant turned fix n flipper and investor friendly agent. 

Welcome to the wholesaling business!

I plan to buy and sell 10 or so more over the next few years.

Since you have good personal credit but little capital, consider leveraging strategies like house hacking, partnerships, seller financing, or DSCR loans that don’t require strong business credit.

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.

An older house that had already been flipped (2022) -- all new appliances, remodeling, good floor plan.

Every day is a school day in this business.

This is a time consuming business.

I know BiggerPockets has some solid templates for market analysis, but I’m looking for more specific insights into what data and tools experienced investors use to determine if a market is worth pursuing.A little about my strategy:I’m looking for a good balance of appreciation and cash flow (not just one or the other).I currently have a full-time W2 job but plan to transition into full-time investing within the next 5 years.Open to out-of-state investing, but struggling with how to track and analyze different markets effectively.What key statistics do you look at when evaluating a market?

Bonus: have you thought about your 10 year goals/plan?
