You can draw an outline around the neighborhood you are targeting, search properties that have been sold within the last 6-12 months, and continue to narrow from there. 

DPI said that would be my option but it would leave me with long narrow lots versus the square lots I'd like. 

I live in Delaware and was hoping to get some advice from pros to narrow down which resources I should look into.

Learn the golden cross, death cross, cup and handle 50/200 day moving averages, volume, rsi macd, Boulanger bands etc.

.* Narrow down these many potential deals with a quick elimination process: Find the initial estimated ARV online by averaging all of the instant home value estimators like Zillow (confirm this later with the actual ARV from realtor comps).

Not disagreeing with anyone else here, but I have a BIG picture solution that you may want to consider, if you're determined not to have a W2 day job yourself (hey, power to you for that btw).Anything the mortgage industry is going to consider a "liability," such as an in-process flip with a HML going out but no rental income coming in, or a car loan, or anything like that, shove it into Spouse A's name.Anything the mortgage industry is going to consider "income" or an "asset," like a stabilized rental with a normal FNMA loan or a W2 day job, shove it into Spouse B's name (usually that W2 day-job kind of gives you a big "hint hint" about who to use as Spouse B).And, yes, a spouse can buy a property from a spouse when something starts as one thing, and becomes the other. :)Instead of joint A+B mortgage applications being "meh" or "close but your DTI is just a little too high

Right now I can only answer a few of your questions: I'm interested in cashflow for 1-4 units and have narrowed my searching down to a few areas.

And happy to hear you’ve narrowed a decision to the Milwaukee market!

I start by narrowing down the areas around Kansas City. 20-30 miles.

Im looking into a few different Areas and looking to really narrow down my search area
