Insurance and tax numbers for analyzing deals

[Adam Egloff]

So when plugging numbers into the calculator to analyze a deal, if you are trying to just do a quick one to see if its worth further looking into, would pulling the tax and insurance numbers from the mortgage page off zillow get you in the ballpark or are those completely different numbers than what we are looking for? There is also a price history/tax page that has property taxes on it which is different from the tax one from the mortgage page. Have you found that that is reliable for the tax line or do you always have to go to the county page? I would think an insurance agent would stop responding after asking him to quote 50 different properties...
