Unsure of the laws around this, but food for thought. 

I feel the same way that you do about the cap rates in this current market.As food for thought, I was at a commercial RE conference this past weekend there was a well known apartment investor talking about how low the interest rates are and how they have actually gone down (slightly) in comparison to last October/November. 

Also, is it appropriate to search a property via parcel number on the county site, and use the listed market assessed value?

One of the things I'm considering is parceling off the house and trying to sell it outright. we'd probably need to build a privacy fence around 2 sides of it.

Food for thought!

Hope this offers some food for thought. 

In Texas if you subdivide into parcels smaller than five acres (or ten in some areas) you have to supply all utilities to the property, and a road if it doesn't have access.
