Hello BP

I have been doing some research in the Harrisburg PA area because it is all I can really afford right now to start. I am not from PA, but have been doing some research and have some questions...Please Help:

1-In conducting comparables and so on, how accurate are zillow, truilla, epraisal, etc..in their estimates of the property value and so on? I guess I want know is what is best way to do resarch on a property when you don't have MLS and don't want to deal with an agent just yet.

2- What are the fees to expect in closing in PA, and how do I calculate my closing cost?

3-Anybody have experience in the market in harrisburg area, or should i look elsewhere?

Also if anybody knows of any real estate agents, title companies or attorneys that work in the area that are investor friendly please advise.

Im sure I will have anothe hundred questions to follow and would like to thank all in advance..

Chris
