You can, and should, bet on appreciation.

Seeing downward trends in pricing in some parts of California; I still track pricing -- bad habit of mine and something I do for fun.

Because of the stigmas out there against "greenwashing," I try to make a habit of directing focus on the benefits of pursuing an energy efficiency or building performance upgrade.

If you want passive REI, then a plain old REIT may be a better bet.

I would bet that most people on that list either don't do consulting work or that you can't even reach them. 

I am not sure what your purpose for wanting this type of site is, but your best bet is to have somebody actually see these properties and do comparables yourself based on like condition.

I have a lease with a tenant that is on the fifth month of a 1 year lease and I am seriously thinking of parting ways.Tenant "Jane" does pay on time, and has not violated any lease terms.But a series of issues that has caused the tenant landlord relationship to be tensed and my best bet is a down hill from here.First of all, and partially my fault, I allowed her to bring a dog. 

Generally, if you list the property in the MLS which might be your best bet, then you will likely have people viewing your home.
