Maybe not for you, but burn one or two beginning investors and word will get around about your deals and valuations.I would strongly suggest doing manual ARV's first, and then maybe checking your numbers with the automated model, and go with whichever number is lower.This may just be my own opinion, but I would NEVER trust the ARV of a wholesaler who told me the valuation was automated.

Yes, but just as many crash and burn.

However, as I've experienced in many markets, do not rush to burn bridges...because often times, the grass is not always greener on the other side... 

I don't know what that means in terms of coverage if say your house burns down, could the insurance company not pay out a claim due to you having more than 1 family living in a "single" family house.  

In the 80's, a 6 unit property sat on that land and subsequently burned down.

@Steve ShultzI would probably just wait till they burn the house down next week Then I’d do something about them destroying your property .

Original single story home, built 1953, has been totally remodeled with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, wood burning fireplace, covered rear patios & more.

You don't need to start big, and any "numbers" you run are better than burning your money on rent.
