Buying on Zillow

[Lee Foster]

I'm looking at some rehab properties on Zillow. What are fellow BPers opinions on buying from zillow? Are there deals to be had? I'm assuming the estimate that zillow provides is way off, but what about recent sales? I guess I'm just looking for general feedback/thoughts

@Lee Foster Zillow is just one resource of many. You'll want to make sure you have MLS access (realtor.com or via a local realtor -- ideally both) as zillow's MLS info is often innacurate or outdated.

Also check the REO sites directly (auction.com, hubzu, homepath, hudhomsetore, hudsonandmarshall, etc) as not all of their properties end up on the MLS or zillow.
