Howdy BiggerPockets Fam, I feel like I'm in a good place  to finally pull the trigger and invest in my first multi-family property.

Good luck out there!

Anyone use a good, easy, and accurate tool to get comparable sales or rents in a location?

Good agents will always be worth it

I also closed one another property in NC which is in excellent location and is doing good.

There is no downside to appealing your taxes and there is a very good chance you will win.

All of those markets have been good to me as well.

If it's going to be your first investment out of state, I would tell you to build a solid team of your CORE 4: with a good Real Estate Agent, Contractor, Property manager, and attorney.

The brokers will have the best pulse on the market - I'm an investor & broker in NYC and can attest that because I'm in the trenches, I have a good sense of what the ARV is on a property.
