coming up with the property value

[Michael Corbin]

Hi,

I'm trying to come up with the value of a property in another State then where I live. The house has been abandoned for 12 years and MAY need to be demolished, not sure. ( I am told that in that case it changes the scenario and then I would only be concerned with the land and the cost of demolition ) How do I get the value of the property. Do I pay an appraiser in that State. I can't put the property under contract without knowing its value, right ?  Help !!!

Thanks

Michael
