They said there were well kept homes nearby, the price was "about right", the curb appeal was good and the interior was clean and well kept.

I'm glad there are at least some near by areas that are developing!

What do we do if we find a good duplex in an area that does not have any comps nearby?

Then, if that doesnt work, call in a suburb thats nearby if you cant find any you like in your city.

Hello BP,What would you guys do if you don't have any recent comps (6 months to 1 yr back) available in the nearby area of a prospect property?

Sometimes it's better to wait several months for something you really want to pop up than to be in constant communication with an agent when there is nothing that you really want that is nearby.

A trip to a nearby plumbing supply, a new lift and turn, some putty, done in 15 minutes.

I grew up in the blue ridge foothills nearby.

Participate in the commercial forums as much as you can and just maybe, you can pick up a remote or nearby mentor.

Currently I've been listening to podcast from BP, reading books, set a budget to save money for our first project for the coming year and just found a nearby REIA which my first meeting will be beginning in January.I look forward to getting involved in several discussions and to bounce ideas off you all.
