Hello all, Thanks for the intro @Stetson Hector 

I am a local wholesaler, investor, and novice ice fisherman in the resent winters here in Lubbock (lol) I sent you a friend request @Michael Fortier so we can connect here. I also am the President of the @LubbockREIA (Twitter and Periscope handle) so please visit our site and connect with us. (Anyone who is interested) As far as your question goes... It all depends on what your goals are. What do you want to accomplish with real estate?

Post: No Recent Comps for a Small Multifamily (2-4). How to offer?

I would take the lowest 3 to 5 sold comps and total the sale prices then average them to get a total. Then take the sq ft of those and average them. Then divide to get average per sq ft price. Then multiply into the sq ft of the property you want to buy. That will give you a fair market value and then back out your repairs and your profit margins and any other expenses to arrive at your MAO. Just remember when your dealing with small units like this if its a 2 unit that your vacancy rate goes to 50% if you lose one tenant. 25% if it's a 4 unit. So running your numbers by the income can be a little tricky.

I totally agree with you Bob, I just have a unique case I was working on and am trying to see if there might be any value in this direction.

Does anyone know if Chase has a non performing note department? If so, whats the best way to reach them? Ive been passed on to several departments just to end up with no results all day today. 

Thanks
