Do you have any tricks or preferred methods for assessing an available buyer pool.My ulterior motive for asking is there's a sweet deal in Stone Mountain for $85k with a slightly-more-than-cosmetic rehab needs in a upper-middle class pocket where the surrounding houses are in the $150-$160k range.

I now have a master key set up and am progressively changing all locks over at turnover.

I've posted a few articles below which outline the new and most restrictive ("progressive") rental laws in the country, which limit the size of security deposits, non-refundable deposits, and requires giving tenants and option for a payment plan to pay move-in fees.

While it's probably premature to assess the entire situation, how do you think that these events still affect property values in downtown San Jose (where the major flooding is occurring) and ancillary areas? 

You need to get the property tax assessment to determine the value of the land - - land never depreciates.

For instance, a plumber, carpenter, etc.When you get higher up on the ladder of your business, you then start to do things like manage your subordinates.Above Managers, you must then give reports on the progress of your department, milestone achievements, projections of revenues and income, etc.Above Managers, the CEO level, your vision decides the overall direction of your business.I believe every Investor needs to think of their investments a business and you are the CEO driving that business forward with your vision of the future.You should NOT be a specialist, you should be a Generalist that can gather information such as what is the future migration of people in your area, what is the city planning doing in terms of re-zoning, are there any large scale developments that can affect your business (ie... if you are a mom and pop retail store, Walmart will put you out of business), is there a recession on the horizon?

@Nick Zias That is something that is situational and needs to be assessed.

What additional information do I need to assess this deal?

You may want to ask if there are any special assessments that the association is aware of that are being assessed or any projects that would incur the special assessment.
