My understanding is that the historic sold prices come directly from public records.  

So right now I work in public accounting and just finished up tax season.

I set aside $2k for annual maintenance but think it would be less than this.One thing that is a blessing and a curse at the moment is the interest rates at the moment are great approx 5%.If anyone wanted to check out the property I'm happy to share as it is listed for sale publicly (not sure if it breaks forum rules is all).When I run it through my own calculator taking into account principle paydown it doesn't really cashflow well but will pay itself off and will much money (as long as it doesn't depreciate).Anyone have any thoughts or advice for me?

Isn't true what they say, that making goals public brings you closer to realizing what you want? 

1, go to tax assessor's office to ask for some public record.2, find an agent to ask for help.3, use income evaluation which is an alternative when you cannot find comps to estimate a value.

Do I do a title search or there are other ways to find out from the public record?

I got a letter from the County Public Works Dept. today stating that although my paving contractor applied for permits for our driveway, the pre-installation inspection didn't occur, and therefore, the permits were not issued before the driveway at my property was installed.  

It holds me accountable and keeps me driving to the outcomes I have set for myself (publicly).On the personal advice, yes, though it didn't start out that way. 

Now I believe retired from public life.
