Since you are an investor friendly agent that drives for dollars, I would invite you to try out the AI which looks at google images and satellite images to tell you if the property is distressed.

Focus on what matters, not on things that have nothing to do with what drives the desired  results.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

We’re drawn to relatively affordable areas that may be more resilient to climate change in the long run (though we know nowhere is immune).Buffalo has caught our attention because of the growing investments in the area, which we think could drive future economic growth.

Buyers don’t care if you shelled out more on the rehab, if you’re priced too high, you’ll end up sitting on the market way longer than you want, driving up holding costs.Lastly if your buying on market, REO or Corporate sellers are dominating and not as willing to negotiate as owners would.

Geographically speaking anything you could drive to and from in a day would be a great start.

My advice would be is to talk to multiple investors who have real world, actual success-based experience in flipping over a sustained period.

It wasn’t ideal, but it was the only way to keep the deal alive.I made the drive to her small town, met her at a local bank, and had the paperwork notarized.

If there is anything I could do (drive by, analysis/insight on the area) I would be glad to help.

I’m naturally inclined toward this area because it’s within driving distance of major west Coast cities (L.A., San Diego, and others)—making it feel like a “natural” choice for a regional traveller wanting to get away for a short weekend.
