To get accurate credit reports you will need to set up an account with a credit agency so can run online.

Originally posted by Steve Babiak:Andrew, foreclosure.com and foreclosures.com are two independent operations.Both of which can take up to 3 weeks to get the info on their site and often is incorrect or not valid as Chris explained.If you want accurate and up to date info, you have to pay for it.

Stephen -I'm a numbers guy, so I'm generally going to look for well thought out financial analyses and accurate pro-formas (with extra detail available to back them up).If I don't know you well, I'd want a good bit of detail on your experience and track-record, and a clear idea how the remainder of funds you're looking to raise will be achieved (along with a contingency plan if you can't raise them).Pictures are always good too...

I'll keep this in mind for myself :) It's not misleading at all, and more accurate than standard "before" pictures because if you had to demo that much stuff, it needs to be documented as such.Thanks for the tip!

Would this be accurate: Start) Beginning $100k needed, points rolled to total owed, so loan start total owed back to lender is $103,092.78 (100k/97%) and borrower received $100k. 1) After Month 1 - Interest after month one is $103,092.78 times 1% is $1,030.93, added to start total total leaves $104,123.71 total owed. 2) After Month 2 - Interest after month one is $104,123.71 times 1% is $1,041.24, added to Month 1 end total leaves $105,164.95 total owed. 3) After Month 3 - Interest after month one is $105,164.95 times 1% is $1,051.65, added to Month 2 end total leaves $106,216.60 total owed.

No matter what they may claim, keyword tools are not all that accurate.

Don't apologize...just provide some data to support your opinions...You said at the beginning of this that it is ILLEGAL to wholesale REO properties...and multiple people have asked you to provide the specific statute that prohibits this activity.After much back and forth, you then went on to admit that it is -- in fact -- not illegal (despite your original contention), but violates REO contracts.Now you are being argumentative about other points that are completely unrelated.It's that anyone here isn't appreciative of your opinion...it's just that bad information is worse than no information, and people here have livelihoods that depend on this info, so getting accurate information is essential.I'll point out one more time that, as a lawyer, if you believe something is illegal, you should be able to provide a statute that supports that claim.

finest expert, zillow, and most of the internet based quick value web sites are normally quite a bit off, Finestexpert in my experience in my area is pretty accurate on rental rates, this is just my area, you need to be very comfortible with the price you come up with, and no website is going to just give you the magic number.

In fact, I find it more accurate there than in SFR's of higher income properties.That said, there are many factors that you should adjust for when using this rule on apartments and the main one is the current occupancy rate.
