Any beginner-friendly tips for managing properties effectively?

🙌You’re totally right — tools like Qualtrics/SurveyMonkey and SEMrush/SpyFu are powerful, but I’ve mostly seen them used for marketing/consumer research rather than for real estate investing decisions.That’s what I keep bumping into: plenty of great general platforms, but nothing that brings together real estate–specific data points like:• Voucher demand or housing authority activity (for S8)• Days on market for rentals in a micro-neighborhood• Vacancy + “desirability” indicators (crime/schools)Out of curiosity — if there were a tool that gave you that kind of “plug in an address → get all the market intelligence” insight in one place, what data would be the most valuable for you personally?

Since you already know how to position properties to renters on Facebook Marketplace, you could apply that same creativity toward listing strategy and social buzz around flips.If you’re looking to get involved hands-on, you might consider:Partnering with a local flipper to help market one of their projects (great way to learn the numbers and process without taking all the risk).Sitting in on open houses and noting what questions buyers ask most often — it’ll give you insight into what features matter in your market.Starting small by networking with wholesalers and rehabbers in Denver so you can see what types of properties are moving and why.Flipping has a steep learning curve, but with your background in marketing, you’re already ahead in one of the toughest parts: getting eyes on the property when it’s ready to sell.Looking forward to seeing how you dive into this side of the business!

I’m really glad you shared this, Janet.
