For others who wonder how to start your search, go to the HUD , Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac home search websites.  

Sidetrackig into the websites of member whoses sites are chock full of valuable information.First started dabbling in real estate about 10 years ago, bought a small complex of five commercial buildings in a tourist area, spend a year renovated them and rented them out.

Jake Kucheck Go ahead and post it... there's a link to another on here, I'm sure that's ok, I think the rule is more not to have everyone promoting their websites, etc.

It seems to me a larger owner could influence the manager to direct tenants towards them and away from my property)*The property management company has a terrible website, and it begs the question how competent and reliable they may be*It is my understanding that I pay the management fee regardless of vacancy, however I'm not sure on that, perhaps someone who has had prior experience with these type of communities could tell me how they are normally structured.I apologize if I don't quite have the RE vocabulary down, but hopefully you folks can provide some advice and help me get my start in real estate!

I dont see any form for it at the state's website.

The assessor's website probably says that the land is worth 40k and the building is worth 120k for a total of 160k.You know that 40k represents the land and 120k represents the building.40k/160k = 25% of your cost is related to land120k/160k = 75% of your cost is related to landThat is how you can apply the assessor's ratio to determine how much you should depreciate.A different method is to get comps of improved/unimproved lots to determine what the land price is apart from the building.

For websites, if static shots are OK just use print screen or the W7 snipper tool & paste into PPTX or Word.
