(Or stoked, as a true Southern Californian should say!)

The only true way is to pull up comparable sales and analyze the comps and condition of the property. 

While there are no guarantees, firsthand feedback from people in your network will go a long way toward finding the right person for the job.The beauty of networking is that even if your immediate contacts don’t have anyone in mind for you, their contacts might.

Yes, Jan/Feb are slow but I was shocked at how busy March was for me last year, hopefully the same will be true this year.  

Good afternoon everyone,When analyzing deals, I'm having trouble getting a true ARV on properties.

Double lot, with two houses (but only one address, not sure if I will have time to identify whether or not it can be subdivided, but based on my knowledge of the area, 90% sure it can), so not many true comps.  

Without having this info, and much more, there's no way anyone can offer you useful, relevant advice.That will always be true, whether you have $5, $500K, or $50M.

It's a beautiful place to live though!

Most of all making a mistake and having my family and friends say "I told you so".....I truly believe that we ARE who we choose to spend our time with (Jim Rohn quote), however, it rings so true. 

He was a true expert, and I'm really glad I called him.Hope it helps!
