Do it through zillow, trulia, realquest, etcBased on my experience I dont think this Website are Accurate when it comes to Value.

So Jason,Do you want to sleep soundly or gamble on a bigger return?

I have a bid of 10,000 for repairs, this I can inflate to 15,000 at least to get an accurate picture.

Using a licensed appraiser should give you a fairly accurate value based on recent sales.

Everything you write is accurate as far as I know, but it still leaves me wondering if I can find insurance to cover me at closing, beyond the remedies the contract may provide.Think of it as a 'put':I will show you the contract, the appraisal, the financing approval, the proof that all contingencies have been removed, and I will pay you $x for the option to come to you to take this house from me at appraised value within say 5 days of the closing date.

If the $329K value is accurate (only you can establish that, an apprasial, especially one you don't pay for, is of limited value), then you should apply the 70% guideline.

I paid for the 1 month unlimited reports for rentometer.com and was very disappointed.Not only was the range significantly large, but it did not seem accurate at all.Best thing to do is contact local Property Managers.

Obviously that make sense and probably accurate.

I guess my question is how accurate do you find the 50% expense rule?

But it's definitely worth it and their info is pretty accurate and up to date for the most part...
