Run the numbers and look at your payments and compare the two resulting cash flows.

It compares your property with similar properties and does comps, projections, etc.

The whole thing is getting to where when you are looking at a house, you know how to make good comparisons, and can compare apples to apples.

Then I take the blended home payment and space rent payment added together to compare this too.

Have you found using another agent to contact that agent is more optimal in opening a dialogue compared to cold contacting the owner-agent?

Here is a link to a website that specializes in data-driven city comparisons: http://best-cities.findthebest.com/compare/157-203/Lancaster-vs-Palmdale.

It does seem to pick up on info that MLS seems to not have, also it helps a GREAT deal when I am listing property and comparing comps.

Not pretty, but cheap and comparable to others in town-- I was happy with it for the price.

I'd like to send out more, but my budget won't allow for it right now.Couple things I'm trying now...Postcards - I am currently split testing how postcards will do so I'll be able to compare in a few months.

Where I'm looking I can find land for 24-30k and comparable around go for 200-300k at 1700-2000 sq ft.
