What’s your favorite apps for quickly finding REI opportunities, or to evaluate a market?

Widespread 3/8 in. drywall put in over stripped lath...not my favorite thing.

my favorite place to invest is in Arlington, Grand Prairie, Desoto, and Cedar Hill. 

Others mentioned strong markets as well - Lynn, Everett, and Chelsea are a few of my favorites.

As has been mentioned above, the worst thing you can do in such a situation is go in being able to juggle loans (see Uncut Gems...good movie even for investors to check out) that ultimately can turn into gambling when you don't know if you're numbers are going to bear out and you're going to hit a profit that makes it worthwhile in the end.

You could attempt a lower amount ($200-225k) just off campus and try to get student rentals but might be a gamble.

On my favorite building I own, a small multifamily near Wash Park, it was cash flow negative the first full year as I made improvements and turned over the under-rented units, but now it cash flows very well.

My favorite area is Oceanview, all areas however are excellent around here. 

And even with all that stuff, I can safely say Storage is my favorite asset class on the planet. 

Here is how my investments are broken down using approximate numbers.Real Estate= 60% reflected in equity positions (pays me to own it/dividends in the form of cash flow/appreciation)Physical Gold= 8% (hedge investment)Physical Silver= 16% (held as speculative asset with inherent redeemable value)Bitcoin + other Blockchain via coinbase= 8% (held as speculative asset-long term value unknown) I know some people will ask how I can be a precious metals bug and own Bitcoin.......The truth is that people much smarter than me have decided that it is a speculative asset class that is worth gambling on.
