There have been several cases where something unexpected came up, and this let us solve it, f. ex I did a pair of identical duplexes right next door with a shared driveway in the middle (but it was marketed as a fourplex) a tad over a year ago in Vallejo...

That's where an experienced realtor can help.The comparable properties need to be as close to identical as possible in style (don't comp a bungalow with a colonial) and the number of beds, baths, square feet of living area and lot size, garage and basement specs, septic vs town sewer, year built and condition.A few things I use to look for regarding condition if I can't visit the property - updated kitchen and baths (granite/stainless, cabinets, backsplashes, lighting), landscaping (manicured vs overgrown) and the appearance of the interior rooms. 

Fire, theft, etc..) that they do not have adequate coverage.

Two of our properties are next door to each other and nearly identical.

I have 3 daughters and two of them are identical twins.I have been long interested in the idea of real estate investing and after my girls came in to my life I knew that down the road I would need to make some changes to my financial situation, that being said at 37 that time is NOW!

He says there are larger PM companies who have it rented out a higher %, but with low prices, and more risks for damage and theft. 

The owner of the home just let me know that he's decided to sell, and has given me the chance to make an offer before putting it on the market.I estimate that the market value is around $300k (fairly confident in this estimate bc a nearly identical comp nearby just sold for $307 with just a few small improvements).
