@Kuba F. correct, i copy and paste the property into zillow, scroll down to the "neighborhood" drop down, and zoom in to see the zestimates of the surrounding houses. i love this feature. i don't see the same in redfin. 

The deductibility of rents between related parties is essentially determined by the facts and circumstances surrounding each case.

The houses surrounding the land were selling for about $800k-$1.2 million.

You'd need to line itemize the closing costs and tell us how much you're buying the property for to get a real opinion of where you might be getting hosed, if anywhere.For an example, on a recent $200k cash purchase closing I had here in Raleigh, I paid $550 to the attorney for his fee to conduct the title search and close the loan (this is higher than I typically pay but I closed at an atty's office that I don't usually close at due to other semantics surrounding the deal itself and the seller). 

I have been surrounded by rental properties my whole life - my Grandpa was a carpenter and over the last 50 years he has acquired 5 single family rental properties in addition to owning his own house.

Ideally, a 2-4 unit in great shape, under 100k around the Houston or surrounding area (a guy can dream right lol)?

Hello All,I am looking for a realtor in South Jersey, specifically the Oaklyn/Bellmawr and areas surrounding Camden City, but not in Camden City. 

Either way, I will take all this advice and continue researching and learning while finding a local REIA and surrounding myself with them.

There are still quite a few decent deals in the surrounding area though! 

How much is it per sq ft to build in Detroit and surrounding neighbourhoods - Michigan?
