I would advise you to have a holistic, comprehensive view of your wealth building process. 

My favorite so far has been redfin.com, and still navigating har.com and realtor.com, and other comp resources website I still need to check outI even found out other one but our paid memberships which I might get in the future after I get pretty savy with the redfin, har etc....the one who are wondering about the paid membership one I found is called www.realquest.com .. check it out for more comprehensive advance searches I believebut  hey I came across this ARV which I think is outrageously high (which is 525k), compare to what the asking price was (which is 290k), I done my diligent on the property and ran several comp and I came with ARV of 350 max (keep in mind it could possible sell for a little more) but i think she should sell somewhere around 240k -245k (keep in mind i never factor in my repair cost in yet because haven't seen the place in person) they place look like its in pretty good condition , it just needs an up to date appeal (Ill show pictures) One sec) which i think would be about 20 k judging from the picture.

I have someone that does a LOT more than hand over a name and number and I'm looking for a contract a bit more comprehensive.

This is the overview of the deal.Property sell price $325K, (fair price, could resell today at this price)Down Payment: $125KLoan Term: 20 year amort. callable in 5, no prepayment penaltyLoan is for $200K. 

Most will be administrators, not executors.Also consider mailings to heirs/beneficiaries.A comprehensive campaign includes mail > knock > call effort.Send letters, not postcards.

This is an interesting resource for a quick overview of prices in different areas around Boston, published in early May.

I never said my response was a comprehensive listing of methods.

I take some pessimistic calculatations.At first overview I want 10% CAP for any investment and calculate the propertie with simple 50% (expenses) rule.So $1,120 monthly - 50% = $560 x 12 months = $6,720 NOI yearly and at 10% CAP rate purchase price should not exceed $67,200.With your purchase and rehab price of only $47,000 it makes a very good deal.Should be the propertie older than 25 years I use 55% expenses and for older than 40 years 60% expenses.Its maybe not correct in first years but over long time hold you will see an adjustment and if you calculate pessimistic you will be tickled if you earn much more money.

I plug it into Microsoft MapPoint which needs zip codes to do.Works really well to get an overview of new markets.
