I'm just wondering how accurate they might be compared to MLS.

But, don't assume your price is accurate for the market just because a bunch of realtors told you it was (while Mike sounds like a good example of an intelligent and highly experienced real estate agent, unfortunately, 95% of rest of the agents out there are just the opposite).

You MUST ACCURATELY know the costs associated with rehabing the property and the comparables before taking on a project. 2.)

we are always a year behind and can not accurately 'predict' what taxes will BE,, therefore when taxes go up it makes a payment go up double.

Carlton- mostly accurate.

LOLI will say this statement is incorrect "knowledge is power".ACCURATE and APPLIED knowledge is power.Many times people learn the accurate knowledge but never apply or do anything with it.

I want to have an accurate figure.

This change in status is not always kept accurate, though.

Also make sure that the after repair value is accurate.

You don't have to lease from Xerox or IBM, just keep accurate paperwork, write checks and document the transaction.Buying real estate is a tremendous boon to wealth creation.
