Hello BP family I am in the process of making an offer on a Chicago SF home 3 beds 3 bath.

Look for properties with the same beds, baths, and similar square footage (within 20% up or down).

My friend wants to furnish the rooms with a bed and a nightstand.5.

Looking to purchase soon.Have renters (friends of the family) moving to FL and are in need of a rental.I am looking to purchase my first investment property---Timing seems right.Seems to be a TON of short sales and fo...

Note the beds, sq ft.Scroll to the bottom, under solds is a button says "price this property" Click itAdd and remove properties until you have:within .5 miles, Same beds/baths, sq ft +/-10%, last 30 days, if not enough last 60 days if not enough last 90, if not enough go up to 1 mile. 

It has 4 beds, 3.5 baths and 2,662 sq ft with a 2 car garage.

just over broke. thats right, most employers will give you just enough to keep coming back, which is, just over broke. you can't afford to quit, you really can't take a chance on going to another job, and you get just enough to keep yourself alive. no one ever lied on their death bed and said " i wish i would have spent more time at my job". sounds cruel, but hey, its also motivating. your plan sounds great to me. you have to give a little to get a little. its a start, and one day down the road, if you do not give up ( and thats a second piece of advice), you will find yourself thinking " that was a damn smart thing to do". never give up. no one ever got anywhere without getting started somehow and no one ever got anywhere by giving up. get on with the plan and stick to it. you will make it. good luck

However, if you want to get to a more granular level (sales price by style of house, # bed/bath, neighborhood, etc.) this is much harder to find. 

@Nadeem Arshad I have a building with 28 studios and 10 1-beds.  

I plan on renting out by the unit (each unit is 2 Bed / 1 Bath).
