I also see cities like Glendale, MO and Chesterfield just taking off like there's no tomorrow.I've narrowed it down to Edwardsville, IL but I'm still curious about the Missouri side markets.

I have been looking and doing some research on different areas to invest into and so far I have gathered information on which zip codes to avoid, the crime data for Detroit & neighboring cities/towns, rental values, demographics & economic outlook. however, I haven't been able to narrow down on any particular neighborhood yet.

One challenge when building small units is bringing in natural light as they tend to be long and narrow.  

Let’s go over some of these ways and where to start.Finding Sellers via Real Estate listing websites Search for homes on real estate listing websites like Zillow, Redfin, or Realtor. com.Use the search filters to narrow down your search to properties that offer owner financing.

Hi everyone,I'm trying to narrow down how I'm going to invest further in real estate.

They did video tours for me, and we narrowed down choices before I flew in to check the top contenders.

I could always chop it into narrow, long lots but from local comps that wouldn't increase value much.

If sheriff's office doesn't get around to your eviction during the narrow time window, that's the landlord's problem and you have to wait again. 

No one else has apparently noticed, but that's high-grade narrow-strip hickory.

I think you may have very well narrowed down my strategy choices down to one of three; the BRRRR method (although this might be too much to start with for a newbie), the live-in flip that you mentioned (probably the most practical as I've been part of many different projects in the construction industry), and a combination of house-hacking/live-in flip (probably the most rewarding with a potential to swap between units as I finish one in order to bring better rental income).
