You can also hire an agent to do a CMA report that will show going rents in the area.The properties I buy usually have tenants in them so I know exactly what they are paying.But otherwise you'd need to get comps.

They report you and then the ... hits the fan.

The man who called was asking if I wanted to do it at the grocery store in the neighborhood where I live, which is not where I market.I'll see if I can get info for the stores in neighborhoods where I market and report back.

This is because your recourse is limited with people who don't care about (or don't know about) FICO scores, credit reporting bureaus, judgments, etc.

I'm trying to get better at gauging why certain properties have not been touched by buyers, and sit on the market for 9+ months.I found a multi-family listed currently listed for $57,000, that has been on the market for the last 9 months, and reduced its price by ~2% every 3-4 months.It consists of 4 units rented with $1350 total income.

Reporters use these all the times for their stories.

I'm with @Dawn Anastasi I only use after pictures and I useCraigslist generated 50% of callsZillow generated 40% of calls (reports with statistics of page views)Truila generated 10% of calls

I want to place a few offers, but I am having trouble obtaining MLS's Retail and Wholesales (REOs and SS) reports from agents.

They said, as usual, if nothing ever goes wrong then it's no big deal, but if a seller then comes back and sues you or reports a complaint to TREC, your CMA better be legitimate and factual.

If an aggressive lender (Rialto, perhaps) is in the mood to litigate and you have the cash on hand to pay off the loan, then, I agree, it may very well be wise to do so rather than litigate.But it is not illogical to say that the lack of on point legal authority is consistent with lenders not generally pursuing a breach of a DOS clause following a re-conveyance.
