Being from California, there is quite a high barrier of entry when it comes to costs.

It's also on the intersection of a main street, though parking is ample enough to still allow entry without it being much of a hindrance in getting out.

Hello BiggerPockets,Do any of you folks use census data like demographics, income, population , education etc in selecting a property or do you think it’s an overkill.Given 2020 census data will be accessible soon curious to see how the community is using it. 

Like @Jacob Maes said - their numbers are wrong quite often (yes, I'm generalizing a little here) and that's because the barrier of entry to wholesale is so small, resulting in lack of knowledge most of the time. 

I would love to share info about STR experience (I'm invested in Blue Ridge, GA, but could share data and helpful docs if needed!)

The downside is the barrier to entry is higher: bigger down payment, rehab costs typically more to make a high-end product.

Where can i find / what do i need to do to get the best data on comparables in the resi world? 

Hi there, my wife and I live in Rochester, NY and are wondering what tools you all use for market research other than the census data.

The idea is great, but without proper data you could be cash flowing negative after the first year when you decide to refi into another loan.
