Are there any resources that exist to determine what the fair market price for a condo should be in a particular area?   

We don't know yet at this moment if in our market that is even possible, so worst case we could always just sell the home.

Hey Account Closed - Which market are you? 

I am open to most markets in metro atl but do not want to go too far north or south.

But my thinking is trying to find a good agent who might find some off-market deals who are willing to work with me unless it’s seriously not worth the effort.FHA vs.

It is still possible to get homes without coming out of pocket a lot of money and the most popular method for this currently is the BRRRR method.Well, in theory this would work but this is almost impossible to do in this current market.  

An experienced property manager should also be able to help you net more money and will handle the marketing, leasing and background checks.

I am very familiar with the Fort Lauderdale market and surrounding areas. 

What options do we have for locking in purchase of the property NOW & him avoiding the tax hit of an immediate sale before it goes back on market next year.

You should schedule a call with all 4 and learn what they specialize in, the markets and how they operate.
