I hope to grow the property management into a business system, but at the moment it's a self employed basis.Glenn

I self manage these units, outsourcing the maintenence to list of specialists.

For real estate investors in particular, seller-financing has continued to be a primary tool in achieving their investment objectives.

I was taking a drive one day and noticed an abandoned home that is in pretty rough shape but I am a do it your self type guy so it sparked my interest.

Here is what I am doing now.I poll from three locations electronically and take the blended #I use my local realtor to pull comps within 300 Sq Feet of the property I am looking atI look at the assessed value.Then I take those three numbers and blend them for an average.If the number is still under 70%, I will look into it further.Does anyone have a better formula?

should I be happy if I buy a property for 187k and the tax assessed value is 230k?

To be successfull you need a spirit inside of you that will allow you to objectively view a situation, make a rational decision, have a good math, business, and negotiating backgrounds, and in my opinion the two biggest attributes that are needed are the ability to make a decision (it sounds easy but it iw harder than most can possibly believe).
