The barrier to entry for rentals is higher.

Is there a website that provides updated location information such as population growth, average median home sales, rental capacity, etc.. like a one stop shop of data to analyze and determine what is a possible doable area to invest in?

The entry barrier for investing is pretty high in our Oregon market.

Hey guys, I'm just starting out into real estate and wholesaling is the entry method I chose to use to get into the game and learn all about the market, the lingo, the bylaws etc...so I've been learning from Youtube and talking to licensed agents that I know for a little over 2 months now.

Find an investor-friendly agent who specializes in multi-family and who has access to all of the MLS data in your area.

Feels like a lower cost to entry (not withstanding HOA fees) and a more manageable first project in terms of renovation costs. 

@Anshul Pandey Echoing what @Stone Jin said, Toledo is a great cash flow market that has a much lower entry point than many places in Ohio and the Midwest in general.

The power and all other utilities are off, grass not cut (we had it cut twice) and cobwebs are covering all points of entry.

While I was going about the dreaded job hunt here in Florida, I couldn't help but wonder if this is the time and place for me to dive into investing and begin the foundation to financial freedom and to break away from the 9-5.I love the idea of BRRRR, and would love that to be a long term solution for me, but I understand that for the time being perhaps flipping would be a better entry point for me to start gaining income.I have roughly 30-40k in pocket to get started, but I'm concerned about finding lenders to approve me due to me currently being unemployed.

Do you have any data you could send me?
