Good luck with your house hunting!

My opinion is to stay away from these on-line auction websites and spend your time more wisely hunting down deals through local Brokers and other Investor/Wholesalers.

I would be sure to go ahead and do the appraiser's job for him and hunt down every supporting comp possible and hand deliver a list of comps you've found the day of the appraisal.  

Lots of houses in that price range.Happy hunting.

On our sellmyhousecom youtube site we have a ton of house hunting videos that can show you what we look for when buying deals.

There is a certain segment of people that are tired of cheap rehabs, short sales, etc that are focused on the combination of quality combined with technology and energy efficiency.I'm actively hunting some infill redevelopment sites to build exactly what your talking about with the emphasis being on 500-700k homes with the goal being to hit a zero energy status.

Happy Hunting

Las week I was helping my customers with some house hunting in Isabela & Aguadilla.

Most residential real estate agents will be worse than useless when you are hunting big game.I would also start meeting with banks, local credit unions and other lenders as the commercial financing is different than residential mortgages.  

I would think timberland or hunting ground, Jay may have other ideas.
