My experience leads me to the tax assessors web site, or if possible to the courthouse and pull the card myself.

Hello all,I just wanted to get some feedback on a great website for my newly formed Brokerage firm.

EikichiI do not agree that options don't give you an equitable interest in property, Don;t take "website experts" opinions as a true fact.

Insurance, Property management (unless you do it yourself), vacancy rate, repairs & maintenance - just to name a few.Look into the 50%/2% rule on this website.

The $8,000 is for a first-time home buyer but the credit is for a primary residence, not an investment property.Here is the IRS website information: http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=204671,00.html :cool:

I'm just curious as to what other Investors use to calculate the ARV or FMV when you have trouble finding COMPS (this is assuming that your NOT using a Realtor), See I normally will use websites like Zillow and RealEstate ABC.com to pull COMPS, But their are times when they are No HELP, Because of lack of Information and I'm NOT currently working with a Realtor, So that option is out of the Picture and YES I know that you can go check the Counties web site (Assessed Value) But, That too is usless a lot of times, Due to lack of proper Updating.

There's a free one on the bottom right side of my website (in my signature) or you can google "mortgage calculator".

this site has led me to alot of your websites, many of which have also been very educational.. so thanks to everyone in this community for that.i am new to investing and currently live in nyc.

Also consider advertising expenses such as signs, print advertising, etc.If they give you a company website that is nice, but concentrate on getting your own site.

Assuming you select "specific performance" rather than "liquidated damages" in the remedy for a failed contract, you can sue the seller if they sell to someone else.
