We want to be respectful of the landlord and the property management, so any advice on how to handle this would be great.

I am in due diligence with a respectable developer in BGC. 2.

I like miami and columbus because miami is land locked and the opposite. columbus is very affordable. both are the highest net migration cities by head count in their respective states 

It's something Jerry Norton released recently to the public to pull data.Did some quick data comparisons for fun between 2 other platforms I currently use - PropStream and MLS (I'm licensed in Florida)I specifically searched for a handful of On-Market properties (active/closed transactions) and noticed the following:- You can't search for specific properties on PropWire- PropWire data isn't up to date (30+ day discrepancy) compared to PropStream; neither is up to date compared to MLS (3rd party data providers hardly ever are)- PropWire estimated value vastly different from PropStream value (50k+ difference in most instances)- No property photos (yet)Initial thoughts: It's a brand new tool and can't imagine it was gonna be great out of the gate.

Just flip through the photos of each, get an idea of what the renovated comps are selling for, and that's where you will end up once renovated.

This entails being aware of the advantages it will offer to both parties as well as how it fits into their respective long-term company strategies.

Just goto the secretary of state for the respective state and make it yourself.

This means every mandatory block is filled in, I have a copy of their photo ID, they provided me with supporting documentation, and they have paid the fee.
