Charles after living in South City for 10 years.

We sold a triplex for $62,000 & at the close the buyers were annoyed that the assessed value was ONLY $48,000.A year later there was a city wide re-assessments to MVA.The buyers called me to tell me their property was now worth $98,000.I told them to appeal it but to no avail, so they happily pay double the property taxes.Oh well, it's all a matter of interpretation!!

What areas of the city are you looking to invest in?

e.g. area code, city, county, etc.

I have tried Zillow, redfin, hotpad, homes.com, relator.com, trulia.com, looked in the tax records, sitexdata.com, and a few other pay sites.There are very little comps I can find, I mean like scraping the bottom of the barrel may be able to find 1-2 recent sales in the entire city area, not even in the same neighborhood, conditions or anything.

I live in Los Angeles and the numbers just don't make sense here for cash flow to me.Some technologies/resources I use when evaluating some property are City-Data, Trulia, Zillow, Google Street View (to drive the town), City Tax Assessors web site, Realquest, Angie's List (a must!)

Also - one of the best ways to stay in touch with what's going on is by setting up Keyword Alerts for stuff you might be interested in or maybe your local city.

Ben Leybovich said It ain't that easy because your reputation is everything...Baltimore City has a population of about 400,000.
