I've had streets where I couldn't find a single property to add to my list and I've had individual streets where I add 10 houses over the course of five minutes.

Heuristics are great for quickly weeding out terrible investments, but they should only be the first step when considering the merits of any individual property.Imagine 2 identical homes built at the same time across town from each other.

I'm a 26 y/o professional and looking for both financial stability in the long-run, as well as supplemental income in the short-run.

I am very new to this, hoping to gather a great education in order to set a path for more financial freedom for my family.

The picture reminds me of the things my wife and I are going to do once we are financially free due to real estate investing!
