I like how you use data from previously sold properties to calculate the property's value and sell price to identify the margin available to help cover repairs.

Then have them cross reverence the data with local tax records to find the owner info.

I was going through the AirDna data and it seems promising but I believe their numbers may be over inflated.

If you are comfortable with fixing up and enjoy it, you will learn invaluable lessons going that route and may be able to build in significant equity out of the gate by not being one of those picky buyers yourself.

“There is no research or data that supports … if someone has a criminal record whether or not they’re going to be a successful tenant,” she said.Under the Oakland Fair Chance Housing Ordinance, single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and in-law units will be exempt if the owner is living on the property.

I love it, and I love how having our data in the "cloud" means we can engage professionals from all over to help us with bookkeeping.I do have an expert I can put you in touch with who helped us through the transition.

But don't have solid data points.

There is really no magic to it...anything beyond being prepared and having your house completed/in order is probably undue influence as the appraiser is supposed to act independently and all data must be supported by market trends and comps.

Properties I buy today in certain neighborhoods will triple in value (that is a conservative estimate) in the coming years - based on what we see happening consistently in the changing parts of the city and the city plans that continue to develop and positively impact the RE market.

Has anyone ever used AREAVIBES.COM for neighborhood research/data?
