I am having some serious issues determining electronic values though.

commercial all mostly depends on the income as in my experiencei have made quite some good profit but lost many as well. however, residential is better since financing is much better. commerical determines on rental coming in AND track record. if you don't have some good quality tentants...finding the loan is difficultthankssunsmicro

There are actually many factors the would be looked at to determine the payoff on such a note but you should be able to get much more than the 1.5 previously discussed if you do things right.

Just wondering if there is a web site or how people look at a house and determine what rents are going for in the area.

Tax accessed value is merely the value that the state or county determines to tax the property at.

I thought this place might be under a wholesaler, but zillow says "the owner clained the property." ( Claimed by owner means someone has come to Zillow and proven to be the true and legal owner of a home and they have claimed ownership.)And he's selling it again right now...Zillow's list shows sales of $140 to 169 in September, to 202 in July for similar size.Originally posted by "Ryan Webber": what you need to do is network with a realtor and ask them to pull the comps for the area.

Your ability to see Opportunity, or Make It, determines your cashflow.

You have to figure ALL of your expenses to determine profit.

I guess, essentiall what I am after is, if you are able with a title search to determine the amount of equity that a seller has is apre-foreclosure property, how does that affect your offer?

Check with an agent in your area to determine property value.
