Either way, you should take a shop vac and hit every nook and cranny.

What is the neighborhood like?

Nathan West,I just received a Tax Bill for a Home that I own.The tax assessment is for $135K.Similar homes in the neighborhood are selling for $200K+Raymond

I have tried Zillow, redfin, hotpad, homes.com, relator.com, trulia.com, looked in the tax records, sitexdata.com, and a few other pay sites.There are very little comps I can find, I mean like scraping the bottom of the barrel may be able to find 1-2 recent sales in the entire city area, not even in the same neighborhood, conditions or anything.

Does not look new.So basically, what improvements/materials give the most bang for the buck in this type of neighborhood?

Usually the credit bureaus consider this rate shopping as long as it is within 30 or 45 days or something like that and count it as a single inquiry instead of multiple.
