It's especially helpful in such a nuanced market like Hudson County where the numbers vary so greatly compared to other areas.Given the proposed timeline, this sounds like it's a short sale situation.

Because the comparable aren't nearly as updated as mines. 

Hi Ben,When I get this response to our offer, I pull out the comparables and start reviewing a few with the listing agent, and try to get a feel for where they are headed with their price, and what comparables they are using to arrive at that conclusion.

Instead of looking to comps with recently sold properties look to comparable rentals (bed/Bath) and what they make in rent.

Also, I read in a discussion that was in Jan 2019 you said that doing lease option assignments is not easy in SoCal due to FMV compared to market rent. 

I am going to play devils advocate on your thought process of cheaper money compared to local HML.Crowd funding will make a little dent.. but its very very hard to take customers away from their existing lenders.

I'd like to invest in an out-of-state property (since the ROI is attractive) but since I'm working in my full time job I don't have time (=rat race) to go down to see the property, so I had a creative idea to hire wegolook.com to complete a property report with photos and then to double check on him I would hire a local licensed property inspector to go look at the property and then compare them to see if the information match.

The same model with comparable upgrades just sold for $333k.

Technology has come a long way but there is still a huge gap in the cost of water compared to the cost of technology.

I think the point you're hearing from other people is that you might not get your money worth here comparing to investing out of state.
