 no problem. I'll be back in town in a month again. 

Anyone in Beaumont, Groves, Port Arthur, Nederland, Port Neches, Orange,Tx or near the golden triangle want to meet in Mid-County today or tomorrow at Sertinos?  Came in from Houston for the weekend to visit family and want to meet local members here in the golden triangle area. 

@Todd Plambeck Thanks Todd.  My next step is to find a cooperating realtor.

What are you asking for is a comps report which is a function in the MLS system. Zillow does publish some sales data, but I am not sure if they do comps reports.

 Thanks for the info Neil.  I did not know it was called a comps report.  But I sure do appreciate your input.  I'm just trying to hone in on areas of the city with a particular home price range in order to mail out direct marketing to these areas.

Well, the best thing to do in this situation to to actually go the city's Planning and Zoning Dept, and speak with the person in charge yourself.  Usually, in my experience, if the property is already built, it should be grandfathered in.  

Don't ever go buy what a seller tells you, sometimes you have to find out for yourself.

Try this link: http://www.austintexas.gov/faq/zoning-my-property-...

And I would find out who the person you need to contact is by calling the city.

First of all welcome.  I would suggest navigating through the "Learn" tab up on top of the page, click on "Free How-To Guides", and select the "BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing" option.

Hello BiggerPockets members!!! 

I have a question for you all.  I'm looking into finding out how exactly I can go by in figuring out what median home prices are as pertaining to the zip code that they fall in.

Does anyone know how to find this out without access to the MLS, possibly through a particular website???

Thanks!

@Josh Autery  I've used McPherson Hughes Bradley over at 3120 Central Mall Drive, Port Arthur, TX 77642 on a few owner finance deals and to advice me on my lease that I use for my tenants. Over all a good experience.

@Josh Autery if you guys ever meet up on a weekend I may be in town and could swing by.
