zillow need to update more and correct errors on site like yesterday I came across this property and as I was reading through I got to a part were it was written 2 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms duplex home.. I probably found more errors than properties on site.. But wait there are others sites with the same problems too..so this leads into the conclusion.. They are good to use, but you still have to do your home work yourself to come up with the right analysis the right calculations and so on to be on the save side.
Back to topic I seen houses sold on site but don't know if they were through Zillow and if so I want know too...
Hi Levon, Totally agree with you. Zillow alone is not adequate.

Looking at a potential rehab/ sell in the Jacksonville (32205 zip code). Nice street, lots of character. Looking at recent sales and listings, but on this particular block, there hasn't been any sales since the 90s. Compound that with it's smaller than others sold for descent money on another block. How do I determine ARV without loosing my shirt!? I don't really want another rental right now.
Thanks!
Jesse
Hi Jesse, interesting situation. May be a local agent can provide a better view.

Hi Jeremy
With online research we can verify whether property is associated or not more often than not.

Spain is in very bad shape economically right now with extremely high youth employment and occasional riots. The USA is still the best country in the world for investing (and freedom) and I really have been around.
In my opinion, for what it's worth, leaving the USA to invest in Spain would be like leaving a great party to go to a wake!
Good luck with your decision!
I agree with David. Few of my friends invested in Resorts and had a hard time.

One way is to find Right to Redemption Properties. These rights are available in few states.
Right to Redemption means "The legal right of any mortgagor or borrower who owns real estate to reclaim his or her property. Right of redemption gives property owners who pay off the back taxes or liens on their property the ability to prevent foreclosure or the auctioning off of their property, sometimes even after the auction or sale has occurred".

You can search your county assessor website. Most county assessor websites provide address search. Many a times Zillow and Trulia provide bed and bath room data.
