We had some common ground though.... seemed really nice. 

This would give you a more standard metric to compare apples to apples. 

You have to use your best judgement on what it would be worth after checking out all of the recently solds you can find and comparing them to your subject property. 

Hello all,I am very familiar with valuing real estate using comparables, DCF models, etc.

Great job being creative to get your REI off the ground!

Our county GIS sites also typically provide a photo of the comparable property.   

Here are my questions as a newbie and I apologize if treading over some of the same ground:  1.  

I’m an agent in northern Iowa, we sent out mailers to owners of hog confinement building, informing them we have people looking for this type of property.The only snag for most sellers, is our attorney says you cannot 1031 from these buildings into farm ground.

Just needed to hear it from someone else.That 2% rule thing is ground into my mind so I was wrestling with it.

Right attitude, no headaches, no babysitting, has to love real estate ( not compare it to stocks,gold,etc.
