In the next couple of years I will look at whether the long-term appreciation approach is practical.

Economists, investors, brokers, and countless media outlets (including Youtube) share market predictions in January and the preceding months.

Now that you have a lay of the land I imagine you will approach the next one a bit differently. 

I don't think that's a bad approach, but you need to know your market well, as you mentioned.

Hi,I’m at a crossroads with a startup idea I’m passionate about and could really use some advice from this knowledgeable community.I’m currently working on building a platform aimed at revolutionizing the way we approach real estate investment.

This approach enabled a swift transaction and ensured the necessary resources were available promptly.

My general approach to under-market rent is to do larger than normal incremental increases.

As a new investor, I am contemplating the best approach to take.

The valuations on them appear to be completely arbitrary and in many instances the company seem randomly selectedWe had one recently from someone else who provided the opinion and the comps were 7 miles away and from another jurisdiction - whereas this property while in a more rural area had considerable sales that could have been used.If you use them to get an idea for property condition I find them to have some value but since they have no interior inspection reports, they are at best just a random guess of the value which could be off by 100%If you think residential BPOs are useless, you should familiarize yourself with BPOs on commercial property…..First, I’ve NEVER seen a BPO on commercial property that utilizes the income capitalization or cost approach.  

How are you approaching land investments in Paradise Valley and Scottsdale?
