[N/A N/A]

Hey guys, I've been doing a lot of reading and even read all the stickies but I still feel perplexed on some things.

I think I'm all square on getting a good deal on a property and such but once you find a motivated seller how would you determine if that property is really a good deal?

So yeah you got it at 65% of its value but how would you run comps on the house beforehand?

Would I just go to a realtor and how much would they charge?

Do you also put location into factor before you start looking for a motivated seller?

When a lot of properties are on the market how would you find a tenant or find another person to buy it off you? Heavy marketing?

How do I get familiar with my market? Should I just read MLS listings to get a sense of how much houses are going for? But how do I get a hold of MLS?

Any help would be appreciated :]
