First real estate purchase

[Josh Stoa]

I have a property that I am looking at it’s a foreclosure that is very clean structurally and mechanically but I just can’t tell if it’s a good idea or not based on the area that it is in. I have looked at other houses in the area that have sold in the last 6-12 months and they have sold for 200k+ that are in the same or much worse condition. I would love other opinions on it because I’m very new to this and if you have any tips or ways to find better information about houses in the area or the market in the area I would love to hear it 

Thanks!
