One thing I’d add is that a good investor-friendly agent can be part of that strategy too ,not just a “one-time hold.”Experienced investor agents help buyers evaluate neighborhoods, rental restrictions, HOA rules, and exit strategies, and they source opportunities both on-market and off-market.

Neighborhoods, strategies, etc.  

Hey @Ben Capone, I’d live there for a month before buying just to get a feel for the neighborhoods.

Looking if anyone has a neighborhood grade map of Memphis, recommmded agents and property managers.

Local banks and credit unionsSmall local lenders love funding deals in their own backyard, especially if the neighborhood is strong.

Very few places in Philadelphia can you build 15’ wide homes and generate the out-sale price per square foot to justify  the cost of new construction, and doubt you’re coming across parcels in the correct neighborhoods at tax sales.I recently underwrote a parcel where I could have built (22) 18’-6” wide townhomes  and ultimately concluded (15) homes between 25’ and 28’ wide generated substantially more revenue against cost.

I see more activity in the $500k+ neighborhoods than we do with starter homes.

Specifically:- Estimating cash flow- Evaluating long-term appreciation potential- Understanding neighborhood demographics- Estimating renovation costsI’m working on a tool where:- You paste a Zillow link.The system uses AI to:- Analyze cash flow potential via Rentometer rents- Predict appreciation based on historical trends- Break down local demographic dataGoal: Automate the time-consuming parts of deal analysis and help investors screen properties faster. 

Pick 2-3 neighborhoods where you know the values, ARV’s, rents and rehab cost.  

Do you think it’s better suited for B-class or C-class neighborhoods?
