Hello all, My wife and I are about purchasing a single family home that built 10 years ago, which listed for ~5,400 sqft, I noticed that based on floor plan, it is under 4000 sqft, and although I applied maximum home ...

@Miguel Horta appraisers make mistakes and are often willing to up the value if you present a good argument with comps/market data.

Sure, you can find skip traces out there that are 4 cents per record but you end up getting bad data or 9+ numbers that you have to sift through to determine if they're the right person or not; often times the phone number/contact will be information that was correct years ago.

Hello All,I am looking for referrals on sources, readings, data, etc on how to increase your rental property value after purchase.

In NC its a simple test, 2 letters of rec and you need very little in assets.3.

And when you manually sift through the rental data you can screen out the slop which invests time to achieve maximum accuracy.To evaluate for a single property address what I would do is go to realtor.com (which directly sources from the MLS), hit the rent tab, put the county of the property you're evaluating, and go to map view for a zillow-like view of what rentals are actually listed at what rent price. 

I think OpenDoors will have more and better data than Bigger pockets, but, good luck.  

I've lived here for a long time so I know my way around and I can provide an opinion, however I'd like be able to provide some objective third party data that assesses/rates or compares the neighborhoods in the Twin Cities and surrounding area to assist in their search. 

There are so many other great areas around Charlotte, that are performing very well and have huge potential, search the areas that are accessible to Uptown, but people don't talk about, and then test the numbers.

This is definitely a test of being a newer investor and something you need to stay positive about and work through.
