Asking the selling agent for more inform to value a property

[Christopher Jacob Weinstein]

Can I contact a listing agent and ask for more information about a property such as, gross rental income, net rental income, property vacancy rates, etc.

I am trying to value 2-4 unit properties but I can't get an accurate cap rate, noi, etc. If the listing agent doesn't post the info. 

Is this something I can email and ask about?

You can ask, but don’t be surprised if they don’t provide that info (or even have it).

2-4 unit residential properties are usually valued by doing a comparative market analysis and looking at other similar sold comps.
