Completely agree with especially #3 by @William Sing - Definitely an option worth looking at, combing buying a personal and investment property in one.

Instead of some bypassing buyers when their agents combed the area in one day just to show a house the buyer's have no idea about, all three showings were initiated by the potential buyers who eager to see the house after they saw pictures on Zillow.com.

She basically went through my purchase and sale agreement with a fine tooth comb which is fine with me.

When I started, I did not have money to purchase a list, so I combed through the online tax records and built a list of absentee owners.

If you have MLS access comb through the high expireds and withdrawns for this situation-only takes one.Trust me fighting with the appraiser is an up hill battle, not because of the appraiser's ego but becuase the UW already has seen report, buyers side has possibly seen report, FHA hates to see an increase.In the future; price the property based on current sales/listings, try not to meet appraiser at property, dont supply comps unless asked, HVCC help squash this (now called AIR), supply a list of upgrades(perhaps same list that should be on site), tell appraiser what permits were pulled, make sure water/utilities are on, make sure all remodeling work is finished.The appraisal matters more on what has sold in the past 3 months and is currently listed and under contract more than the condition of the subject.

It was one of the worse property I ever brought here in Vegas.3 Bedroom / 1 bath / 1104 sf / 7000 sf lot size build in 1953.Paid $52,100Remodel Cost $ 25,000Average Combs vary but 2 homes with the same square foot but with 2 baths sold last month for $119k and $115k.

Comb through the Michael Blank, Ben Leybovich, James Wise, Serge, and a few other serious Multifamily investors.

Personally I use my own system (built around public county data) in my small geographic area, combined with a local data provider who combs data from the courthouse frequently.

I know this because my wife have been combing the neighborhood looking for a new house to buy.Also, we both know that prices have shot up tremendously since 2001.

I am combing through craigslist and finding potential deals.
