I would take a look at the county assessed value.

I was told each state governs there own LLC processes and assess a different fee/tax.

So these payoffs are covered so long as they are "of record" or filed and assessed against the property.Taxes will be pro rated to the date of closing and the expenses of the seller come from seller's proceeds.

TruWest and CU West said they didn't do formal appraisal, but instead assessed your home value via their own value assessing software.

Rates will fluctuate until you lock, but you should at least run the numbers with current rates (I usually do current rates plus a bit in cast they go up).If you’ve bought and sold a dozen times, then you can maybe talk about getting a property before lining up financing.

Because this is a multifamily asset and not a true commercial property, any big swings in RE Tax assessment are going to really affect your NOI.

I think condos (especially Brickell) are nice to live in, however, I wouldn't want to invest in a condo because of the HOA's and any potential special assessments that could occur. 

I am advertising 10 - 20 new units a month and there's no way I'll pay Zillow when there are dozens of other web sites available for free.

That said, I'd love to hear how the BP community assesses medium to long-term (5-10yr) prospects of apartment rental markets? 

The property tax assessment is also significantly above what I paid, so I plan to challenge that.
