But, as to a national auction, besides the biggies you could google, I have no clue!

I would offer to help but in all honesty, I have no clue about Kingman and its market :(

Or the hedge funds' renters may just buy the things directly from them (after all, everybody hates to move).I find it comical that the hedge funds throw up a "for rent" sign and the vast majority of the American public has no clue what they're trying to do and that this is investor $ funding the whole landlord thing.

It's that you have no clue as to what you want or how to measure one deal vs. another.You, my friend, need to define what makes a deal...to you.

@Curt Davis , Oh my goodness, I have no clue where $160 for insurance came from.

Tim I saw a post on BP recently by Jonathan Casillas about working capital loans, that'd be worth looking into, although I have no clue about the terms, qualifications, etc. 

I'm sure if you look at comps in the MLS you'll be able to see whats in "good,bad, ugly and amazing" condition and the prices should also give you a clue.

The two biggest clues are the very low rate (you won't get that rate from strangers) and the fast closing (you might get that from a legitimate lender).

The insurers have something called the CLUE database where claims info is kept, so that they can better understand risk.

However I have no clue how this works.
