How to get APOD information NEWBIE

[Cody Evans]

Hi BP,

I read a book about how to analyze properties and am feeling much more confident on how to identify the value of a property than before. I am now interested in crunching the numbers on some real properties and practicing some negotiations with brokers and owners. My issue now is how do I get that precious little thing called data from the properties I am interested in investigating? Am i just going to take others people's words for it? How do I determine the markets going cap rate? How do I figure out if the APOD the broker gives me is baloney?

These are a lot of questions and so don't feel pressured to answer them all or add additional questions in: Any help is appreciated in this area.

Thank you for reading
