We felt like we have tried everything other than drop the price and have spent some time really evaluating it since it's almost impossible to get true comps.

So the story continues...We weren't able to fully evaluate the condition because the home was so packed.

Two questions we answered before purchasing:-What size has shortest turnover (we discussed with local property mgr)-Who are desired renters (college students, families)By catering to your desired renter base you'll be better armed to evaluate available properties.

The most important things for you to do is to get some good training, be consistent with your lead gen/prospecting time, and the have the student mindset, always evaluating and getting better.  

Anyone know how I go about evaluation and buying notes?

Certainly area comps should be considered and used to evaluate an offer. 2. $1200 sounds low for four (4) college students, In my town it is $675/month which includes all utilities and wifi. (675*4-=2700, less $125 electric, 80 gas, 80 wifi, 50 water, 30 sewer, 30 garbage=$2300/month net rent. 3.

If I disclose the evaluation metrics for the property, any real buyer will be able to understand the request, be able to make a rational offer and then walk the property with some insight as to what is what.

I would evaluate the deals seriously and try to look at them both unbiased and go for the one that makes the most sense.  

A search of Department of Homeland Security or FBI terrorist watch list search is an option but a good  idea.A nationwide US Department of Justice National Sex Offender database ( or similar reliable nationwide database) search is necessary.Civil records should be searched in every county the applicant has lived for the past 7 years at least will provide a real time evaluation of the applicant's civil and financial record.Employment or benefits verifiedPrior landlords contactedCredit standing.How to get it?

I logged in the NW for 11 years. and replanted on average 300 trees to the acre and logged well over 4,000 acres a year. so at 250 a tree that would have been a cool 1 mil a year .. when in fact we spent about a 10th of that about 100k a year replanting 120,000 plus a year...
