So I’m pretty limited in what I can do physically, fortunately most everything can be accomplished from a computer.

We email each other properties and converse nearly daily on properties we view on Zillow and have created a detailed excel spreadsheet that computes returns, income, and expenses that we've learned from Brandon's The Book on Rental Property Investing.

or the version that you load it onto your computer?

If anyone has free time and wants to meet, please send me an email since I don't get on the computer too much while I'm here.

Sometimes the market could change during your renovation period or often the appraisals are ordered as drive bys or done by computer modeling.  

This is an important aspect with lease-options as to financing and requiring an appraisal show the fair market rents in the computation of earned equity by the buyer which is done in the future and more often than not reduces the equity allowed by any institutional lender.

I'm using this one for no other reason than it's on my computer screen in front of me right now:Profile:  3 bed/1.5 bath; 1066 sf; bsmt and garage; brick ranch; bank owned.Cost to Buy = 68k; rehab = 10k; ARV = $125k; 70% ARV (refi) = $87,500; CashOut = $9,500Rent: =$1350; T/I = $220/m; PM = $130/m; REFI:  CF = $640/m; CF = $360/m ($4320/yr)End Result Moving Forward:Cash Flow = $4,320/yearEquity = $37,500 (30%)Cash Out from REFI = $9,500 (this is my CAPEX, repairs, etc...)Cash Back from REFI = $68,000 (this is used for the next deal)...and, then I just repeat this over and over.

I need my BiggerPockets fix everyday when I'm away from my computer.

I'm finding that all of those records are public however they seem to only be available via computers in the clerk of courts office.

This was the 3rd time it had been up for auction - the computer bid it up in 2.5K chunks. they did have the highest real bid.
