Finally, if you cannot find sold properties to compare within the timeframe or distance you can go out a bit to find properties to compare.This will get you started with finding values for residential 1-4. 

Is there anything I should know before start shopping?

We have started meeting in person at Polly's restaurant Located at 15 South Stanley in Cottage Hills IL.

You've already got a fast start.

Ah yes, I own property in Tulsa but actually also have a real estate automation company with nationwide coverage - I started adding markets to the list to illustrate the range of areas we cover but should definitely add Tulsa to the list as well!

Hi Moshe,I too am looking to start my real estate journey.

We want to sell and I am starting to look into how I can save the most money tax wise.

same with us, we study infill every day though through case examples. the best part about infill is no risk. buying lots like what builders are doing even national builders still are shifting the risk to local land developers. my recommendation is to look at permitted uses, price per acre, etc. if you want lower risk buy a larger tract of land from a large developer out of a 100+ acre development to lower the risk. if you are doing it from scratch work with a group who's doing subdivisions. you can go and read the subdivision plats in your recorders office online every county has one. in columbus where I do the majority of our development we are specifically starting to target zones where the economics are also favorable.

Hi, I am just about to get started in real estate for the first time: I am thinking about getting a triplex.

Then sell the property and start doing fix and flip or fix and rent. ( I prefer to sell this property as it 100km away from my student rentals. ) Not sure if I should renovate the lower unit to sell.
