First Multi - How to know approx appraised value?

[Brandon Komp]

Hi there everyone! This is a first post for me on BP, just one of many firsts for me in the RE world here in KC.

Anyways, I'm looking to try and buy a duplex, but as I have only bought two SFRs before (just bought the second one about a month ago), I don't really have a good feel for what a duplex might appraise for when analysing a deal and trying to make an offer. How do I know I'm not way off and not analyzing my deal correctly?

Also, any help and recommendations for private money lenders or partners for financing deals would be much appreciated! (I've already called and talked w/ most of the hard money contacts listed on BP link and couldn't get what I'm needing)

Thanks in advance!
