The official public records at the county clerk's office can show you who is in current ownership of the property.

I was just thinking I'd need to factor in their costs as part of my property evaluation to determine it's a good deal.Thanks!

I have the drive and determination to learn and do well in the business.

This allows you to have an input in how your property looks externally and may determine its rentability in some markets.In my experience, a well landsaped yard have given the first impression that makes prospective tennants want to see the rental.

Therefore, the appraisal is representative of the market value.Appraisers have three approaches to determine value, although all three are not always used depending on the property.

If you've hired a cleaning service or maid both sides can bring their documentation and let the judge determine if the landlord has had legitimate deductions.

You need to decide what you are going to do with the property, your exit strategy and that will determine what your offer should be.If this is a house you are just planning to live in, it's a different story, then it's worth what you want to pay to live there.

in the long run also - if your business expands and begins to purchase real estate (for offices etc.) then Corp is better - it affords the greatest seperation (ownership is severalty with corp, one owner) - although LLC accomplishes the same type of limited liability.

ARV is determined by examining comparable sales in the area (comps).

But, They have determination like me, you and all the other people you will meet on this forum.
