I think the right answer is based on your personal preferences, goals, skills, abilities, and resources.

I suppose to keep this as simple and straightforward as possible, my question is, what are some of the resources people use to determine general areas, cities, neighborhoods that have potential to be good for real estate investments?

They make sure you go into it with the understanding that no amount of money is guaranteed but for me it’s been a great source of “extra money” and, like you said, a way for me to stay involved with my local real estate market and learn and have access to resources that may be helpful to me in the future.

This is my first post at BP, but I have found the other resources and forum topics/responses to be exceptionally helpful and I'm hoping I can avoid some of the typical "newbie" mistakes. 

Tons of resources here on BP.

Looks like a great resource.
