Google real estate photographers and your city. 

@James Travis I would reach out to different lenders in your area which you could locate through Google or BP "Network" menu option.

If you have a list of materials that are being used, you can google them and do the research yourself.

@Doug Ito - You can find venture capital firms in LA for real estate developments in a google search.

What I found while training 20 agents is that I have noticed most agents do not know how to use the "keywords" or any of the good tools. 

A google search would kick up a decent number of companies to ping also.

Not knowing those areas well is a problem, asking around or checking individual county's website is often slow too.I found that out by checking local county's tax calculator + found properties in the same area that's sold for similar pricing back in 2019 and how much they are taxed in 2020.I had the opposite for Las Vegas, where the numbers were higher than the truth.When you google, "property taxes in xyz" they only mention what an average property tax is in a given area, often that percentage has nothing to do with booming markets and does not indicate anything near what you'd be paying.Anyway, just curious if there's any service where I can just put the zip code and get the real property tax amount/percentage that I would be paying if I purchase a house in that area?

@Dave CarterI was googling how to acquire a large portfolio myself.

Set up keyword alerts so that you can receive notifications once a topic or area of interest in mentioned in one of the forums.

Also, look into good ole' google maps.
