With the basics you can do some research on the web and quickly find out a great deal about the values and the area.

Not an exact quote from numerous medical studies but more of a synopsis.BTW; just to brag a bit on myself (and say "bite me" to just about every authority figure in my schools, except my Senior year Guidance Counselor, here is a short history of me since '66.Drafted into military, ended up spending 9 years doing that, a couple of combat decorations, started my BS while in service at the urging of my Colonel who told me my talent would always be wasted in government service, finished my BS in about 30 months of starting, despite several extended TDY assignments.Held 5 jobs within the first 3 years after getting out of the service, and had started one company, later sold.10 years later I had 5 rentals and an MBA5 years later I had 10 rentals and had started a second company5 years later I had quit a job after 17 years that was paying pretty da** well, started a partnership (dissolved within 3 years) and had 16 rentals, all paid for, owned my own house free and clear.BTW, despite my stellar 1.3 GPA in high school I had a 3.7 in college and a 3.8 in graduate school.

The income approach, the value of the property is estimated using the income, the property is expected to produce in the future.You will find that this method is mostly used on commercial and multi unit property types but works well when selling a property that a buyer wants to hold and rent.You will find a great web site with tons of data free at:http://www.huduser.org/datasets/fmr.html"You're never a loser until you quit trying."

I though wow....I like the idea of going after tenants rather than waiting for them to come to you.Anyway, pass out flyers at Section 8 or the local housing authority.

I do property management, real estate sales and now manage our web site.

Has anyone had experience with marketing foreclosures via the web -- more specifically directing your direct mail audience to your website.?

I saw them charging in excess of $600-$900 (Like I used to) and KNEW they didn't have the capacity to support a student the way someone who's been there "emotionally" can.What I mean is that I've been there, I've done it, I've won massively and I've lost massively.

I did a web search and couldn't locate anything.

I am curious how a simultaneous close can be successfully done in a short sale...if the bank gives an approval at 100K...I find an end buyer at 130K...does the title company disclose or not disclose to the foreclosing lender that I closed previously at price of 130K and then am using 100K out of that 130K to close on my end...won't the foreclosing lender argue that they are entitled to the excess funds?

OK, so just looked at one randomly chosen web site.
