You need to look at houses in the area you want to work, and don't make it too big,,start with a zip code, learn everything you can about houses that have recently sold, check out every house on the market, find out what they later sold for.Know about the schools, does on street go to one high school, but one over goes to a different one, which one is more desirable (big deal in the area I buy).You don't get to know a market overnight,,it takes time, but until you start you won't ever know the market.Look at houses,,,lots and lot of houses,,talk to realtors, talk to investors,,you don't have to get an appointment to see the inside of all of them,,just check them out as best you can (an agent won't really appreciate taking you to 30 houses every weekend,,,
