In terms of being a competitor to the MLS... the only thing that you can really do is to provide a nationwide database compilation of all of the local (county) records.

It's a compilation of branding and creating solid referral sources.

They would have the compiled sales data that would give you an idea as to the type of market you are in.Revitalization, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is more of a business term.

prp=mls&AgentId=DCGREEN&EmailKey=15469721Scroll down to MLS#3648875 (Lake Conroe), and take a look at that property.Then find the same MLS# on the report (Lake Conroe), in the link below, that I compile a couple of times a month and notice the original sale price of over 800gs compared to it's current price of $539,000http://www.houstonhotdeals.com/privatenotes.htm

Zillow compiles their data from several different sources, and it is not always the most accurate data.In reference to a good beginning offer, that will depend on your exit strategy.

esnuts,Thanks for taking the time to compile what many of us may know or have read.

I can't comment on your list, because I am compiling a list very much like it for my first rehab right now.

The topic I have chosen is “Energy used in residential properties can be greatly reduced by using conventional insulation rather than the use of renewable energy technology.”As a part of my research I have compiled a short questionnaire.

@Julie McElroy I'm trying to compile a list from my Realtor, property manager, and inspector in Pueblo.

Go to your public records to find recent nearby sales or go to site that compile that info:Zillow Trulia.
