You found the right place for information.

Loopnet has some comp information, but requires a paid (and not cheap) account to see it.Commercial properties are generally valued based on income, not comps per se. 

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

My information is below.  

Let me know if you have different information I went to visit the factories in Las Vegas (great reason to go to Vegas..lol) and its impressive.

Best experience is hand on training, and not some workshop making you go back to pay for free information online. 

we have to have pre sales my bank will only give me a certain amount of spec loans but unlimited amount of pre sales. its the only way to keep velocity when you have a larger project like us ( 90 homes) We have been blessed no questions about it.. we made some critical decisions when we started that now look like genius moves :)

The information contained in this post is not to be relied upon.

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.

It was a tough decision, especially since I had no experience managing commercial properties and knew no one in Ohio.Despite the uncertainties, my wife and I decided to make the leap to escape the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area.
