I know about the services Costar offers, but I'm wondering who or where typically has this information on hand locally?

I have a guy that works way cheaper then he should and does them for about $1300 labor which I know is crazy so I am trying to get a grasp on reality when I start shopping rates again.For a small full bathroom we typically do a complete gut except we keep the tub and reglaze it -  Labor usually consists of ceramic tile shower surround/tile floor - new toilet,light,mirror,towel bar,faucet, shower head - trim and painI know this is region specific but just interested to hear others

How long would you make your study period (what is typical for residential zoning) and what specific questions would you be seeking to answer?  

Do you think appraisers typically make reports strictly from data or do you think personal bias play a factor.

I am catching up on podcast and I listened to episode 55 featuring @Jimmy Moncrief.

No, typically your liability insurance would typically not cover damage done due to negligence of those you hire.  

Typically, they have investor meeting on Thursday evenings at their Bellevue office or newly opened Tacoma office. 

What is a typical split in that situation?  

Typical scenarios that I have been getting for my investors are properties for around $70-90k with rents for $800-950/m.

Investing typically takes much less time then commission work so you can fit it ii in between commission deals.This has been my strategy for several years and it has worked out nicely for me.
