Remote Investor, Starting Out, Seeking Resources

[Matt C.]

Hey All -

I am widdling down some areas I'd like to remote invest in. I have one house-hacking property in SLC, but homes here have gotten a bit too high to see any cash-flow. Looking for some less expensive areas that may not see a ton of equity growth, but should get a few hundred plus in cash flow each month. I have been hesitating on pulling the trigger for about a year now and I am getting frsutrated. Gotta make the jump. 

I am mainly seeking everybody's favorite resources for neighborhood analysis. I have a few that I utilize alongside Google Map Street View when I am really digging in, but I find I have to bounce around for resource to resource to get the full picture. Oftentimes, the data is at least a couple years old. 
What are your favorite resources?

Would also be interested in any suggestions for markets/neighborhoods that would be a good fit. On the higher end of what I am currently looking at, I have Twin Cities and Indianapolis. On the lower end, I have west of Detroit and some areas in Memphis, with preference currently in the Memphis area. If you have Realtor or PM teams in these areas, please let me know!
