Of course, technology has been created, and will continue to be created, that will make home buyers' quest for property easier if they choose to go-it-alone, but the fact is, the technology that we have today provides insight that is far too generic to be considered "valuable" in my opinion.It all comes down to 2 things for me:1.

I find lawyers aren't cheap but sure a whole lot better to spend a couple grand today to be able to sleep at night.

I'm not sure about the long-term economy of my hometown, Price Utah.The biggest and most reliable employment in Price is with education as we have a branch of USU in town and various grade schools. 

I bought the property for $105,000 and it would probably sell for $230,000 today before closing costs. 

In a partnership I'm involved in where I brought the deal and will be handling day to day decision making and managing the original renovation we are splitting things 65-35 so the partner bringing the funds will make around a 15% coc return annually.

* I have an appointment later today to meet with a the town accessor trying to gain more information.

If you are an investor in these areas you should be educated enough and have enough capital to handle a new roof or heating system.

one thing I find in our markets is the larger multi family new developments just don't pop up one day.they are 3 to 4 years in the making and its a little like stopping a cruise ship once it gets going .so what we are working on today in planning and permitting we wont built for another 2 years or so.whats coming on line today folks bought and started in 2015 and 2016.. so that can lead to over supply for sure in the rental realm. 

I just take an educated guess on Reno and make the offer (this gets easier as you get more experience).

This is a inspection report that I received today from the title company.
