The owner seems to be way off but your valuation seems off too unless Im missing some market specific data like a real low cap rate.

i know theres different goals when making a purchase so is general and not limited to flip or rental etc...much appreciated if you can please list your main items you use and link any tools or sites that are useful to evaluate those items.ive read thru the BP and many other resources and theres so much data its honestly a bit much,  just looking for a simplified checklist and then can drill that down to learn more.thanks!

@Royce TalboI just got off the phone with them, they basically said they have multiple sources of data that they use for negotiating with the tax assessor and they wouldn't go into detail.  

I personally have talked to several BP members, met a couple, but never had any business interaction.

As they never get enough steam going to make a living.However I do think you can't underestimate the value of access to the MLS.. especially now with other sites getting kicked out of the MLS data bases.

JenniferI get my info from list source or melissa data.

No more legal size paper, margins for recording data, top, bottom and sides, by the time you have the body of your document, well....few will be on page.

What is the easiest way to "scrub" the data.

http://www.city-data.com/ shows most of the data you are looking for.

So I downloaded the data and got to work!
