Appraisals on commercial property cost between $2,500 and $3,000 so I do not want to spend that kind of money if the appraiser is going to check my tax return and see a huge list of expenses and vacancies because of the construction.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Ramsey

I wish I could just pay a small fee even if it is monthly to see MLS listing.

craitgslist has to be the best website for a private owner to list their home for sale.

My local MSL listing service has multis even above 4 units.

Unless it is priced significantly under market value, I wouldn't put that (or anything like it) in the listing.

At the minimum I can legally collect a finder's fee if I don't want the listing. 

I'm looking at a foreclosed duplex listed via Auction.com and it's showing two outstanding liens in addition to 4 mortgages in its history.

Doug:Also, I would like to know what you are looking for (the range and areas) and if I can add you to my buyers list!

Make sure to get involved with a good local realtor to help you put together the most appealing deal, regardless of on market or not, and to successfully find worthwhile pocket listings.

Write it up as a personal letter.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.
