However, I have heard way too much begative information about false comps from zillow, so be leary.Lee Warren

Hello Everyone, Here is an article I put together a while back detailing a very basic understanding of the sales comparasion appraisal method (in other words, how to read and understand sales comps.)

Basically I run down all of the local research for your property leads.Property Analysis (or Property Consultation) ServiceThe service includes:-An inspection of the subject and surrounding neighborhood-Exterior and interior pictures of the subject and pictures of surronding neighborhood-A detailed report containing the following information: **All the property details and tax information **Title Search **List of local comparables and an estimate of market value **A detailed list of needed repairs **Suggestions for upgrades worth considering **Suggestions for what the property will be best used for (Fix/Flip, Rental, Lease Option) **A list of financing options and costs of each **Rental cashflow analysis (if needed)Cost of service is $100 per houseTurnaround time is 24 to 48 hours.Not trying to play on anyone's emotions, just trying to offer a helpping hand for anyone who wants or needs it.

Often you can get a ballpark number from a contractor giving him basic details of what you want done including things like how much square footage you are talking about, quality of materials, and any other important details for a particular project.

I've not heard about this roadblock from Brandon and David, but perhaps I missed this small but crucial detail. 

All in all a great first book for real estate investors.Unfortunately the book lacks quite a few details that you need to actually DO real estate investing... but it is very inspirational all the same.

If so make sure all the details are laid out if not, I'll be glad to give you more information...If you have any questions feel free to contact me..

Please explain your details here, thank you.

I don't know why the instructor did not go into too much detail.
