These services get their data from the MLS as well but it is not well organized and will require you to do some massaging to get the proper numbers.  

I have found that appraisers kind of have no idea how to get good comps for 2-4 unit properties so they just use the 1% rule and massage their adjustments to make the numbers work. 

"The Help" as they massage your stinky toes.And that my friends is how you make it in this business.

After I got my AA- I went to massage therapy school, got my certificate and went to work in a physical therapy clinic.

Or is the property surrounded by massage parlors, liquor stores, and check-cashing places?

I like 10 year fixed debt because you have almost a full average cycle period to decide at what time you want to sell or refi a stabilized asset.I do not believe in massaging debt with 3 to 5 year lower rates just to make a property pencil.I have bank lenders that act like CMBS but are not CMBS so you save on legal costs but they will do in many cases 10 year fixed in the mid 4's at 65% to 70% LTV with a 30 year amortization schedule for retail center properties and 100% non-recourse.
