So if you have the time could you let me know where or if I'm doing anything wrong. the comps I pulled are from Zillow on the closest properties to the addresses I can find.Property Card says the property is wroth 589k at 1,201sqft 3beds/2bathsthese are the properties that have sold in the area1)$542k 1099sqft 3beds/2baths2)$475k 1445sqft 3beds/3baths3)$565k 1859sqft 4beds/4bathsthe areas price per sqft is $415, so to get the comps as close as possible I'm taking the sqft and multiplying by the average sqft of the area to make up for the area sqft of the properties and then I'm adding or subtracting to the prices the properties sold for for a new price of...1)$583,3302)$373,7403)$292,000these are the new prices I get now to my untrained eyes?

You can always check with the recording office in the county you want to work in and pull records about the property. 

No permits pulled yet...

I've had plenty of investors dip their feet into these waters and none of them end up pulling the trigger on actually doing it after doing the math.  

You don't have to pull out any of your 401k but it can be used for a lender as reserves. combine that with credit card limits and that should give you a pretty good buffer.

not only the HOA fee's but the stability of the HOA... an unstable ill functioning HOA can kill a condo projects values.. use your education to delve into the financials of the HOA before pulling the trigger.

I own this free and clear and am looking to pull out the equity.  

Preliminary analysis was positive so I actually pulled the trigger to lock up the land.

If the property doesn't appraise in that range, I am prepared to pull cash out of my working capital to subsidize the difference.  

If I pulled the trigger on this, I would probably try and oust the tenant in the 2 bedroom apt and get someone else in.
