hi all, been hovering for a few days looking for landlording tips and what not, and also looking for financing for another duplex, made a few calls, left a few messeges and sent some emails, no responses yet but its still early, any help would be appreciated. great website, lots of useful information.

Taxes can be precisely calculated from your tax accessor's website (most of the time its online), and for insurance I'd call your agent and ask for a quote.

Nice website.

Just wondering if there is a web site or how people look at a house and determine what rents are going for in the area.

Actually, if you click on the Podcast link in this website, they are the second podcast that shows up.

ok so i just came upon a website that i thought was useful to me to asses the value of a property. oviously the best way to find out the value is the neighboring properties and thier recent sell price. so, i began searching properties and came upon zillow.com. and although, i was wowwed by the "big brother" widget, i must ask what is the difference between "tax asseed value" as it states in zillow, vs. and the value of a property or are they the same thing?

If you are in Texas, you can use the standard 1-4 family resale TREC contract on the TREC website.

No response from them is required to access their website.

I'm just finishing an Architecture program, so I really enjoy the design + build aspect of the real estate business.

Thanks for the website noobdog1.
