Steve,
Not to be flip, but the best way to quickly analyze property is to know your neighborhood. If you are targeting an area as your “farm,” you need to drive the area, walk the area and talk to the people who live there. You also need to go to the county courthouse for that area and study recent sales and what’s being levied for taxes, etc. Sounds like work, and it is, but it’s not overly hard and the mileage, flyers and whatever else you use to catch the attention of your customers is a business tax deduction.
