The only thing that matters is actual sold co0mps within the last 3 months and similar properties (i.e. if subject property is 1500 square feet and 3 beds, 2 baths, you need other sold comps that have similar size and same beds baths or know how to adjust for those with an additional bed or bath.Comping values is an artform and takes practice.

I've personally put in a lot of similar type work that you are describing in your post.

Matt, I have heard similar feedback from my insurance agent.

Todd,It's VERY SIMILAR (except our sales are the first Tuesday of the month) terms here in Texas.

I live very close to Tom Wilson who specializes in a similar business model but I like the property management you have set up at your business.

Given equal investment horizons, there’s no (non-prohibited) investment you can make that will grow faster after taxes are paid than if similarly invested tax free.None.Why don’t you give us an idea of what you’re thinking?

This is similar to your plan to invest it in higher return instruments.

I'm open to ideas others have had success with in a similar case.

Random discussion about various business models in the room (hard money, mobile homes, development, etc.)My broker also gave us some insight about the local economy.This seemed to work pretty well, but I would like to start doing topic-based meetings at some point where I can invite local experts to give a short dog and pony before we do a format similar to the above.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who is successfully wholesaling in the lower end of the market in Dayton or similar cities.
