@ Kevin Bond

Welcome! I am also a newer investor, but I am in Pierce County. I would love to help any way that I can, but as everyone else has said, definitely explore this site as much as possible and DEFINITELY download some podcasts too!

Don't do it! We decided to move forward with the program and it is absolutely NOT what they described it to be. The information at the "advanced" training was almost less informative than the 3 day event we attended to purchase the advanced training. They absolutely did not follow through with what they laid out, and we are the process of trying to recoup our money for a bait and switch. They told us at the 3 day that you will have access to Chief's teams (realtors, contractors, HM lenders, etc.) and that you will be able to purchase a property and operate within his system to make back the money that the program cost...at the advanced training they never even mentioned this, and almost all the information taught was opposite what was laid out at the previous event. NO GO.

Bill has it right, doesn't sound like much of a deal and I would definitely look at some more comps as that big of a swing in pricing doesn't give you enough info to make a smart decision. I would further negotiate with the seller if possible, because as this stands it sounds like he would be the only winner in this deal.

There are many sources for information, and a lot of the above reply's hit the nail on the head but what I have found is that sometimes the info varies from site to site so you need to make sure you check multiple sources for market information, comps (mostly if using Zillow, Redfin, etc. not title), etc. Hope this helps!
