Further more you mentioned estimates on Zillow I’m not sure where you are from but where I’m from Zillow estimates are not accurate and to get accurate numbers an agent is needed.

The best way to check current ownership (usually accurate within a few weeks) is to check the County Assessor's office's database (either free or available for a small fee). 

You stated the comps in the neighborhood are $350-450K; you need an accurate number.

I think there are just too many variables right now to accurately predict if this is the right time to invest in real estate.

They’re the ones that would have a far more accurate answer.

I’m mean this poll should be super accurate, within 5% right?

Am I out of line without a submitted offer to ask for Accural accounting figures vs cash (as the broker told me they use Quickbooks and have clean books) -- If they truly do it would take less than 5 mins to give me what I want - it's just a few mouseclicks.I shot him a snarky reply if they dont want to give it to me that's fine but based on what they presented showing the business makes little money on paper and cash basis figures I'd offer a quarter of what they are asking - said I'd be glad to make a fair offer with the appropriate information and left it at that.Anyways I dont get people. 

@Keyla Ragland    Your Realtor should be able to get you more accurate comps. 

I think this would be the best first step to get a more accurate sense of what you're actually potentially in it for. 

To be accurate, they must exclude depreciation from the calculation as it’s a non-cash expense and doesn’t negatively effect cash-flow.
