I've watched NCIS a time or two, but had to go online to get a list of Gibbs rules.http://www.gibbsrules.com/Looks like a number of these could apply to real estate.Rule #3 Don't believe what you're told.

Yea depending on your market, once a property hits a hot listing price, it took spark many investors who shop in the area.

In commercial, industrial properties you may look back 3 or 4 years and adjust values if necessary as and look to other citys hundreds of miles away, for part of the analysis of say a shopping mall.

If they maintain the files and make them available on line look up a property address.

Are bike and walking paths important, bus lines and parking as people move from vehicles to living spaces or shopping.

Or better yet, help create the story, like Don Konipol's example of the $125K auto repair shop, with a seller willing to file bankruptcy once he was educated about it.

These kits can be gottne in Office Supply Stores or Online.

My wife and I are shopping for a house.

Having a good online management system was a must and has helped us out tremendously.

I wish I had been online for this conversation.
