BP has various tools to help you analyze your deals (rentals, flips, wholesale, etc). : https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators7.

I have analyzed a few properties listed on Realtor and Zillow,  made one offer that was counter-offered then I declined, drove around my neighborhood looking for distressed properties, looked at multifamily properties, looked at single family properties, gotten upset at how expensive even distressed properties in my area are, wish I had a partner to do my first deal with and show me the ropes.

So it’s important to be able to analyze properties on an individual basis for comparison purposes, too.

I totally understand putting in the work to find and analyzing deals/markets - just asking for a nudge in the "right" direction.

Continually getting leads and analyzing those leads.

I recently found a good deal on Zillow, analyzed it, and got preapproved for a loan.

I try to analyze a property as if it's going to be a full on rental without me living in it because with how the market is right now and in the area that I am in, I will never break even just house hacking. 

I have already began to analyze deals, look at properties, and find the areas I am interested in investing in.

So if there was an undiscovered area that is becoming very popular all of a sudden, then fix and flips make a lot of sense.So I would say analyze your local market trends and what properties could rent for versus how much you can make on a fix and flip.

One popular way to get started, which you may already be familiar with, is through house hacking.
