Because way this is framed it's conveying a lot of certainty of a 3yr out. 

Hope this helps. 

Once you see this, it is a sign telling you to start to negotiate off that list price (could be 50K right there).2.

Is it as simple as driving around and figuring it out?  

Hi Yong,I'm an investor, also living out of province like yourself.

. - Thought you might want to check out my response to this original post too. 

thanks for your time and help 1st off, full disclosure here, Rent To Retirement advertises their properties on my Investment Properties For Sale Show, so I am not a totally unbiased opinion and it's only fair that I tell you this up frontHaving said that, outside of running my show for people like them, I also own a property management company in Northeast Ohio and have worked with 1,000's of out of state investors over the years.I say all of that to say this, the overwhelming majority of negative reviews I have seen on them are very similar to a lot of negative experiences investors have with my property management company and others like it that I've worked with.

Then I'd push those factors out if there were no good comps.  2 miles, 6 months.  2 miles 12 months , etc.It takes some local knowledge to know when you're pushing those parameters out too far to be useful. 

You and your husband are definitely in the right place to get valuable information.
