ok so i just came upon a website that i thought was useful to me to asses the value of a property. oviously the best way to find out the value is the neighboring properties and thier recent sell price. so, i began searching properties and came upon zillow.com. and although, i was wowwed by the "big brother" widget, i must ask what is the difference between "tax asseed value" as it states in zillow, vs. and the value of a property or are they the same thing?

Before i learned about REI i was just going out spending money and having a good time. about a month and 1/2 ago i met this person that wanted into REI but is a father of 2 without a mother to help. he is also in the military. now 90% of my spare time is searching for deals and soon to be taking an online course for my Texas RE license.

If you don't have any local ones, then I would search out regional or nationwide ones and start the application process.
