try https://www.homewyse.com/  for materials + labor estimates (together or separate), by zip code, to get a range, that way you have some idea ahead of talking to contractors.

That's good to know, makes quite a big difference for a number of the properties I'm looking at.I've been looking to try and find the right balance between cashflow (where the the outer cities like Pearland, Humble, Katy, Tomball, Cypress do well) and appreciation potential (where inner areas like Third Ward, OST/South Union, possibly Spring Branch, look better, although crime in OST for example concerns me).ZIP 77498 for example benefits from Sugar Land schools but still some 160-180k houses, plus Sugar Land tax on the lower side.

So, my wife and I are looking to buy our first home, in the Las Vegas market, specifically 89143, 89131, 89084 or less preferred zip codes of 89033 and 89149.

Decide how much money you have access to, & the zip codes, city or state you want to focus on.

Anything around Midway Airport and within 35 mile radius or so.Also, Is there a way to find out which zip-codes have the lowest property taxes ?

@Roman What is a zip code that you would consider a good neighborhood?

ZIP was 78704 and we accepted an offer first day on the market at over asking.

Hello everyone,My name is Rotem , i am form Israel .i am part of a group who buys houses for fix and flip/buy anf hold , we haven't done a deal in Milwaukee yet , we just enter the market ...We are currently conducting research to find the exact areas to focus on,We did some initial research and found the zip codes below that fit our criteria -53208, 53209, 53201, 53205, 53216, 53218, 53219We want to go down now to a lower resolution, street level and block level.

You can even search down to the zip code of the area you are researching.

id take a peek at MLS rentals in the zip and see how old the similar #bed/bath or sq ft house for rent listings that havent rented yet are (extra step to be sure would be to call to see if those that appear sitting unrented really still avail as alot of listers are sloppy and never update once vacancy filled).
