When looking in markets where the prices of homes sold is private and not provided , how are you running your comps?  

@Michael Snider-Held we hear stories like this all the time in the LTR market about the national companies.These companies are setup to make money, period, with little oversight from management.So, owners need to make sure they read management contracts and UNDERSTAND what is covered and not covered. 

So, my question here is, what has been the best way to enter the market?

I realize markets come into play but I would just like a general idea.

Hi, check out Ohio's real estate market all my clients/investors would agree that investing is Ohio is a great choice that they all made as far as real estate. 

I live in Belguim so markets are very different here.

You can determine a competitive offer price for a property, analyze market trends, property condition, income potential, and operating expenses.

I am based in London, UK, so understand this blog does not have plenty of resources for the UK market.

I've seen quite a few car washes on the market and they've always been operated/maintained by the owner.

Or is better to stay off market?
