Or better yet find someone who has any personal experience with the COB Sale, or anyone who may be interested in a joint venture.As I understand it these properties will be sold free of any outstanding liens, for the greater of 20% or $500 down and the balance due approximately 6 weeks later.I have completed some research/due diligence on the properties that are in the neighborhoods that I am most familiar with and there looks to be some nice ones still on the list (owners have until the last week in Sept. to petition the City to remove their property from the list).Things that I have completed in researching the properties have been:•Current owner(s)•Property class•Tax Value•Last sale price & date•Drive-by/visual inspectionIs there anything else that I should consider trying to determine before the sale?

Put all those numbers into a blender and you should arrive at a "smoothie" that's pretty darn close to what you can expect for rent.

I'm trying to run the numbers in order to make my offer, but I'm having a hard time finding comps and arriving at an educated offer price.

As far as December payment i will pay you the 1800 but I asked you before if i can do it when i get back from my trip from Singapore on the 3rd and you had agreed to it As long as i have it in your account before the 5th and its okay, i will be in chicago Dec 3rd arriving at Midway at 8.00 p.m and the banks are close by then so i can deposit it on Monday early morning.

I'd like to be able to just set reminders for "home depot" then have them pop up when I arrive at any of them.A bit better integration would be helpful, too.

The house in this market would be 135-140k - what would you offer as residence or two rent and hold..How did you arrive at this..?

I did include comps to show how I arrived at the ARV, plus a detailed breakdown of repairs, but I didn't think to include a breakdown of holding costs, staging costs, etc. on the buyer's side.

In my market the buyers come out in droves when the first warm weekend arrives.

As I was arriving to the property the crew was leaving except one worker who was staying behind to put the final coat of clear on the floors.

#1 - Your response about big company/small company practices rings sincere, though I don't think I'd arrive at the same conclusion.
