Hunting for that new investor property? Virtual real estate is alive and well and should be considered a part of your marketing research. With maps, home-value calculators and more, these tools can help you find the right deal on your terms. The top three sites are:

 Zillow.com—The feature “make me move” lets you name a selling price without committing to a sale.

 Trulia.com—A new social-networking feature lets prospective buyers talk to locals.

 Realtor.com—In many parts of the country, Realtor.com offers more listings than any other site. Each property has a broker, so if you like working with realtors, that information could be helpful.
