Hi Robert,Here is a link outlining The Fanie Mae 5- 10 property guidelines:https://www.efanniemae.com/sf/guides/ssg/annltrs/pdf/2009/0902.pdfThis data was from 2009 but I don't think it has changed since.thx,Chris

Probably about as accurate as Zillow since they likely get their info from the same unreliable source.I also like Cyberhomes.com because they have a map that will display property values, and other data, as a color gradient.

So, while the dollar amount of property changing hands increased dramatically during the bubble (I suspect, I couldn't find specific data), the income per agent didn't increase correspondingly because many new agents joined the business.The article makes a second point.

April 16 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. foreclosure filings rose to a record in the first quarter as employers cut jobs in the recession and temporary programs to delay action on defaults came to an end, RealtyTrac Inc. said.A total of 803,489 properties received a default or auction notice or were seized, 24 percent more than a year earlier, the Irvine, California-based seller of default data said in a statement today.

But every time any body produces a meaningful set of data, its been borne out.

other resources could be price history, sale records, current and past tax assessments and Zestimate.Look at al these data and make an offer accordingly.

We have 30 years of economic data that supports this fact.

Its nice all the data you can find online now on someone.

So, I definitely want to get them into 1st time Home-buyer Entry Level Markets that are not War-Zones.So I've started to comb Wikipedia, http://www.altosresearch.com/ (paid)http://www.neighborhoodscout.com (paid)http://www.bestplaces.net/In search of data, and I'm still learning how to decipher through the data to make it applicable to my investment strategyOnce I get the first of my 2 strategies built solid enough, I want to start participating in note creation/selling.I hope thats enough information, How about yourself?

@j scottI love your idea of the .pdf scan of the check and just type in new data.
