If not, offer less.All the stuff about tax assessments and appraisals are less relevant.

Analyze every single house in that market, then do that again.This will help you identify typical houses, prices, rent ratios, tax rates for different parts of town.It will also help you to understand if a market you thought would be of interest is in fact relevant for you.Now that you know what is typical in your market, keep on monitoring and start noticing the things that are a-typical, That's where all the interesting stuff happens.

Good afternoon BP! I'm reading more now than I ever have, trying to get myself in the best place possible to start my 1st Real Estate venture. My Road map is almost complete but I wanted to see what the community says...

utm_source=search&utm_medium=internal&utm_campaign=booksSimply, bone up on the areas that you need to expand knowledge in such as, Forums, Marketplace, Learn, Network, Analyze and Resources.Feast on the Podcasts, #askbp Podcasts, blogs and webinars Lastly, this site thrives on interactions and as such we encourage two way exchanges and look forward to educational and thought provoking ideas relevant to REI.

Anyone with experience can you speak to the rates you got 20 years ago, 10 years ago, or 10 months ago and how relevant it is now with buying bigger? 

My only relevant observation is that we are currently selling a house in N Arizona (north of Prescott) and virtually every prospective buyer and realtor is asking about the availability of water and the size of the supply.

You can ask questions that pertain to them being a protected class all day long as long as it has relevance and isn't being used to discriminate against them.

If you are using your own money to buy fix and sell, % or return on investment becomes relevant.

I'm sure you'll find some relevant information and negotiation strategies.

Here you'll be able to post all the relevant numbers/information about your deal and people will jump in, pick it apart, and help you analyze whether it's a good idea to move forward or not.Hope that helps!
