I think this illegal but it doesn't stop them in my area...The point is, from your computer, you should be able to start figuring out what properties are worth.

Basically making sure I don't do anything illegal :)

Obviously using the number of tenants as a criteria must not be a cover excuse for illegal discrimination.

Now how do I know if he's being up front with the amount of money that's being put into the workers hands,slash his pockets since its his guys doing the work,not saying he would do that but how do I go about keeping track of the money that's going into the house since he is pretty much in charge of what is being done to the house...thanks for the good feed back.I really do appreciate it.
