I found Smartmove to be very confusing with their pricing structure, and I could never find my account once created. 

Getting started, I created a spreadsheet of all properties sold and all rentals listed, along with the price, #beds, #baths, sq.ft., and general condition.

@Cassandra Scalise 60628 has a few different neighborhoods that do create a range of comps making it tough to pin point.

I agree with Chris, you really can't create an average to go by.

Possible solution is to create an llc, contract I.

If youre truly in this for the long haul, there is nothing worse than getting started and then realize you dont like who youre dealing with.Meet the property management, customer service, accounting / finance.

Once you do so, you're creating brand value for yourself and it will help you build their trust gradually.

What I do in addition to telling them what to do is create a video of my computer screen and show them how to collect the information.  

Buying from a related party is awfully easy to structure a transaction that creates a shift in basis even accidentally. 

So it’s a good idea to create a process to do it w/o being present.What i suggest:1) Schedule a time to meet 2) Apologize that you won’t make it shortly before3) Have them send you a photo of their drivers license 4) Give then lock box code and have them call you when they leave the property This helps since they think you’re going to be there.
