To get comps out of your area you could always call a Realtor who works that market and ask them for a ball park estimate. Combine that with some of the free online resources and you should be able to get a pretty good idea of the value. I personally don't like to go out of my area to do deals, but that's just me. If it looks like a good opportunity, go for it. Steph As far as paying the bird dog, that sounds fair to pay 10% once the deal closes.

Also got another real estate investor/bird dog today that told me about another one like 45 mins away from here. hes already spoken to the owner, got a rehab guestimate and cant get comps. i don't have access to mls here either. how the heck would u handle this lead?? or would u say the hell with it and give it to another investor and tell them to give me 25% and i can split that with him and have him keep bringin leads?? thanks PS. Im thinking my time is better spent in my county and outsource to other investors in others... Steph,

Glad you got it closed...an early Merry Christmas present for you and Jim! We'll definitely come to you first if we are shopping in the Tampa market! Thanks for the offer. Oh, and I think you may be right about the floor not yet being hit. From everything we're reading/seeing/hearing, the U.S. market still has further to go...unfortunately. But, that will create opportunities for the PERSISTENT, HARDWORKING peeps, and make home owning more affordable again. All the best to you and yours over the holidays! Cheers Great stuff Steph!
