Bio of Haydn Piper:

BSME, 1973 - Walla Walla College, College Place, Wa.
MBA, 1998 - City University , Bellevue, Wa.
CCIM, Candidate since 2005
31 years as a Mechanical Engineer
In chronological order, where I have worked and what I did:

* Pacific Western Systems, Elko, Nevada - Designing Silicon Processing Equipment
* Tektronix, Beaverton, Oregon - Designing Silicon Test Equipment

Buying or Selling a home, an Investment, Land, or Commercial Property is a major project and should be treated as one. My first-hand experiences, from buying to selling; from building to remodeling, from design to build, from project management to research; and from negotiating to problem solving; I bring a unique set of 'tools' to Real Estate. I am learning additional tools with Keller Williams.

Susan:
Las Sendas is a VERY nice district. I wouldn't mind living there myself. Check Dori out; w/God's Blessings.
There is no reason why you need to travel to sign a Lease. If you were buying I would suggest the trip.
The Property owner or management company should be able to e-mail the Lease Agreement to you and you can print it, sign it, and Fax it back.
Question: WHY do you want to come here in May-July? You realize these are our warmest months?
As to the house you have selected to lease, are you doing this through a property management company? Can they send you photos of the house and the area?
Feel free to contact me if you would like an independent take on the house and location.

Man, there is a lot of traffic on your question, congratulations for the input and stimulus.
I am a Commercial Realtor in the Phoenix, Arizona market and I think we need to all realize that every market is different.
The only residential work I do is for out of area investors or as a favor to a previous client.
This week I have seen the first Price Increases in the MLS on the Residential side. Our "Market Values" and activity is about the same as it was in 2002. This month we are experiencing about twice as many homes Sold as in the previous month.
So, to your question, what should you bid. My personal advice is to find out what the least expensive comparable homes sold for in the past two months. Get your Realtor to give you the addresses so you can drive by and make a judgment for yourself on what you think you would be comfortable paying, realizing that prices could still drop a small amount (imo).

I think Diane Eisner has given the clearest advice. The Assessment, is based on a percentage of what the Assessosr thinks the current market value is at the time they do the assessment; the Appraisal is what someone decides the value is, based on sales over the past 3 to 6 months and is used for Lending purposes; the Market Value is what a Buyer will actually pay for the property. So offer the $600k.
However, I would like to discuss with Diane, her statement; "The tax assessor uses the assessed value to determine the property's taxes.
IMO, this is an issue of relativity. The amount the Tax Assessor collects is dependent on what the voters have voted to spend on various programs. The purpose of the Assesssment Value is to make sure that the collection is equitabale. In other words, your assessment can increase considerably, but if the voters haven't voted for new expensive programs your taxes could actually drop, if there is a sufficient number of new properties available to tax.

Interests
Real Estate! Surprised? :>)
Actually my goal is to have investments that give me a hands-off, passive income of at least $250,000/year.
Then I can "play" in Real Estate investing in foreign countries; Panama, Costa Rica, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Belize, etc.
