I currently have a full-time job that's not in real estate, but I'm looking to begin investing in multi-unit investment properties for buy and hold purposes.

Many had 10% equity to slightly underwater.When comparing renting, selling with an agent and getting full price with lease purchase, he agreed that we could present to all his agents!

I'm definitely wanting to take a little extra time and money to one-up comparable houses so I can have pride in my work, give someone a house they believe is more than what they should be able to afford, make people happy, and sell the house faster!

To this point my research has turned up the following (1) property assessments in WB are from several years ago, (2) appeal of assessment cannot be made based on current comparables (mainly because the market is so lousy for sales).It just seems that I am missing something and I would be interested in hearing from people experienced with this particular city.Bill R.

I ended up taking over repairs which totally defeated the purpose of having a management company.

Homes in my town are almost twice as expensive as the surrounding outlying counties - for comparable properties!

These two issues I've pointed out are MAJOR, and I believe combined with the comparable in the area and the cost to repair these issues, I believe that the offer is justified, but do I include pictures in my offer?

If its a single member IRA then for tax purposes, its totally irrelevant.

Or you can compare it with one you can get from the office supply store and compare.Angie

If so, at what price range and how much of a discount compared to market value?
