I bow to the wisdom of the elder BP members.I ran a report that gave me the names and email addresses of all the agents who had listed or sold a house within a half mile of the one I wanted to sell.

Kimberlee used to live 10 miles from me.

Anyone know of a good bank to work with in Southeast Michigan?

Not real estate, but if the train left the airport and took three seconds to get up to 60 miles an hour how long would it take it to pass the end of the runway which is 5280 feet long?

I punched in my area code and most investors that came up were 60-80 miles away.

Try to keep comps in the same neighborhood, and/or within a mile of the property.

It's within 20 miles of my personal home....What kind of taxes should i prepare myself for, and are there legal loopholes i should be aware of and/or take advantage of?

Even though these properties are in the same general area I have experienced large swings in these factors within just a few miles.

Since there were no 2-4 unit sales in this suburb since 1999 the appraiser went out of the area.The 3 comps are from a suburb 4 miles away!!

Nightmare stories of flips gone wrong and then turn into rentals and investor didn't want.A buyer with many choices doesn't care about your profit margin and will look at the seller that works with them and gives them a good deal.If I go to a car dealership and they give me a hard time I just go across the street to another car dealer who will play ball.If they were the only car dealer for 30 miles then they have and advantage.
