@Brie Schmidt I came on to pick your brain.

Look up local investors on social media and follow them and comment and like their posts so they get used to seeing your name.

My thought is to take a compiled list of property addresses saved in Excel and then run data scrape from Zillow and Redfin on each of those addresses, pulling the property details back into excel and into the appropriate table I have set up. 

Best experience is hand on training, and not some workshop making you go back to pay for free information online. 

Just wondering can you ever catch a great deal on the market  and if so what’s stopping you from taking advantage?

There are any number of Real Estate schools available to you, so choose the one that compliments your learning style, whether that be online or in person or a hybrid. 

I funded a ADU project on a property, the city found a loophole to restrict ADU to lots of 17K or more and huge set backs (property line to housing wall). 

If the price was right on Turn-key maybe, but probably more of the fixer-upper that can be leveraged later on for additional property or sold for a nice profit. 

Are there any options out there that won't tear away the margin on flips?

Especially if you're doing enough volume to get good discounts on products.
