When comps are not readily available, investors resort to a cap rate analysis to establish the value of a property -- that is, the value to the investor.

What you want is to diversify your report..You should have a few revolving accounts.At least one installment loan. ie. auto loan/personal loan.And a mortgage.You want to keep a Debt to credit ratio of about 1/3.. that means actively using 30% of your available credit..

Can you send me some info on the types of deals available?

However, when planning a ski trip to Snowshoe Mtn, WV, I noticed they had several units available for similar to lower prices in a resort location.I have requested information from their sales team regarding cash flow and rental management (they do it for you) but am interested to hear if anyone else here either owns property at Snowshoe, owns property with Intrawest (the company who does the real estate), or owns property near/at a ski resort- any tips on how to evaluate an opportunity in these niche markets?

The last one is just finished and available for whatever..

Just put what you have available.... cell # and e-mail...

Jeff and folks - just a heads up . . . the Larry Goins course is available here on the BiggerPockets Store at: Ultimate Buying and Selling Machine

Not sure if that is due to the moratorium, but there is definitely a lot fewer properties available, and the competition for them is fierce (more so than usual).Haven't yet noticed any increase in pricing, thoughSteph

Helga, is there something like that available?

Not an urban myth at all, although I agree it is quite a "cheesy" strategy to delay the inevitable.The fact is, many have done this and since borrowers originate their loans with one lender, then it is sold to another and another, paperwork is misplaced, not transfered properly or timely, etc and the documents are not organized and readily available.
