There are several great resources for data. 

The differences lie in how they aggregate, update, and present the data.

Every market will have a data center, not sure how this will deviate from the curve of market-based anticipation.

One was purchased a  few years ago by an out-of-state owner who has decided to sell and has doubled in value.

I'm data driven and would love to immerse myself in IL, AL, MC specific property, demographic and investor-centric data sources the same way I've done in my previous area of focus.

I'm looking at investing in several out-of-state markets (potential BRRRR strategy in mind), I have a list of qualifiers that I'm sussing out to determine viable markets but would love to know: what data helps in determining a good market to invest?

I’m exploring ways to automate my deal analysis process and was wondering:1.Is there a way to programmatically pull MLS data?

I do not do a lot of volume, so it would take me a long time to get a good data set just based on those numbers.
