My name is Valerie Kester and while I have bought and sold several personal residences (including landlording)  I am brand new to the investing side of real estate. 

I was talking to a broker yesterday who said they got great success mailing the three blocks around wherever they had sold a house and were asking if those properties had thought of selling too. 

She couldn't get the property sold because of the lease land and some title issues.

Property sold at auction may contain liens or other encumbrances that are not mentioned within the case file.

I know we have access to public prices for residential real estate, does anyone have a site for commercial in Ontario specifically?? I'd like to look up a few without getting my realtor involved.Thanks

There is a guy right now, right here on Bigger Pockets trying to figure out why his flip hasn't sold. 

@Jonah Richard, knowing the cap rate of sold comps is one thing, but paying said cap rate is quite another. 

Here are a few scenarios I'm thinking of:1) being sold by a realtor - price is likely close to market value. a notable exception is if house needs significant work, in which case the cost is being accounted for in a lower price. 

Hi guys and gals,I am wondering what your best strategies are when it comes to finding deals and private lenders..

I have someone that currently owes 3M on a house that can only be sold for about 2M.What are my options here?
