I am in Florida, but I agree that you need a Real Estate Agent to give you an accurate Comparative Analysis.  

I found ways to provide value to him in the form of commissions as an agent on his team.

Hello, I purchased a rental last December in 30080 in GA - I had my RE agent run comps and she said it is roughly worth 30-40k more than when I bought it.

I am real estate agent working with New Western, specializing in buying and selling distressed properties that will fit investors needs.

Century has a good reputation.

Buying a property without equity…. means that if you had to sell.. you will taking a loss equal to AT LEAST…all costs associated with selling.Selling a $400,000 property that was bought in the last two years means that AT BEST… the equity is equal to 75% of the down payment. ( this is a rough statement and anyone who wants to crunch the hard numbers is very welcome to post them)$400,000 buy… $$60,000 -$80,000 down… $24,000 to the buyers agent… and another $5000 for other closing costs.Starting balance ..is $370,000.New selling /asking price… =$450,000 depending on the region… good luckBuyer counters at $400,000 and the seller accepts…Minus the realtor fees $24,000 and some concessions…$10,000 ..Net is $366.000 Ok this is a very rough discussion.either provide tighter numbers or accept the drillThis seller got out lucky.And didn’t account for the interest paid out or the new carpet , paint dishwasher and sod.Buy a business with equity….

I am real estate agent focused on homebuyers and investors (mainly offering rebates) and as an investor my focus in this area has been long term buy and hold investing.

In the last 18-24 month's I have gone through at least 100 MFH "deals" where sellers/agent's swore it was such a great "cash-cow" and quick to supply the PnL's to prove, and to there credit that is what they showed.... but, but, BUT....

I also was referred to fantastic handypeople and other great folks like attorneys, agents, and lenders who helped me along the way. 

Talking to a real estate agent to find the property?
