The "cost" of this free software is that they use my financial data to recommend and market financial products to me.A lot of folks are wary of using a program like that and trusting software with sensitive financial data.  

Data from our property management company (managing 2,395 single-family houses):  Property theft is actually down 1st quarter 2015 compared to same quarter 2014 by a little over 10%.  

Obviously, you'd want to look at other data, such as home price/median income ratio, in evaluating whether housing is absolutely cheap, but home price/gold is an interesting data point.What I also find interesting is that home price/gold seems to suggest that interest rates do not have a substantial impact on the relative value of home prices, despite conventional wisdom. 

Especially when very little meaningful data can be obtained in the other background checks. 

It may not hurt to see where another broker or analyst might value the complex based on some of the data you have provided (not sure what kind of NDA you may have signed)I know I can sometimes present a deal as more optimistic than it really is to others so make sure you feel comfortable with the story behind the numbers and get enough answers to move forward. 

Hi @Clarissa Ferrell - if you're looking specifically for a delinquent tax data, your best bet is to get your list directly from the county.

You could purchase raw data, which some consider as leads.

Just join...saying you are considering using Redfin to buy or sell...and you can get list and sold prices straight from the MLS.  Photos, too and DOM.  Very helpful.  Thank you, Redfin.  

If you see the same properties listed a month later either their rent is too high, location isn't ideal, or there just isn't a demand for housing there.The last 3 things you are kind of guessing unless you have some hard data from the city about property values or growth.  1 or 2% is probably ideal in most cases. 

Once settlement is over I wanted to start purchasing 1-2 small apartments in the Philly area.While I’m looking on LoopNet.com on what’s out there I wanted to know if I should gather data from brokers on properties that I see to run the numbers to practice or should I wait?
