He refuses to let you talk to anyone else in the training as far as getting their contact information & he won't let you speak to people who have "successfully completed a deal with him."  

Computers can analyze property based on subjective data (square footage, # of beds/baths, etc.) but cannot calculate for objective data (quality of kitchen cabinets/counters, size of bedrooms and bathrooms, view out the living room window, etc.).You should study the market yourself.

By the way, if you do speak to the previous landlord and they are not forth coming, that's a warning sign!

I also have this same question about a Multifamily deal we have where we will need to purchase land before approvals.. you’d think being in this as deep as we are we’d know this answer but, it’s actually proven to be a pretty difficult thing for me to come across even with speaking to several people in the industry.. my own mother is 32 year lender.

I don't know Orlando as well so I can't speak to interesting areas as well as I can Jacksonville, but there are plenty of interesting areas.

@Gash Nookala,Renting can indeed be slower in winter, but here are some tips to boost interest:Enhance Listing: Ensure your listing has detailed descriptions and high-quality photos—consider professional photography if needed.Competitive Pricing: Double-check local comps; even a slight price adjustment or incentives (like a reduced deposit) could attract more interest.Broaden Marketing: Beyond Zillow, Hemlane, and MLS, use social media, community boards, and local business connections to reach a wider audience.Flexible Lease Terms: Offering shorter or month-to-month leases might appeal to tenants during this slower season.Local Property Manager: A local pro can tap into their network and help fill the vacancy faster.These steps should help you find a tenant despite the seasonal slowdown.

So, my recommendation is to reach out to an experienced agent and speak to them.

You might find that installing a mini-split system, properly insulating, and ensuring the finishes match the main home’s quality will make a difference in how the appraiser views it.

If able, speak to them face-to-face at their work, your kids soccer game, church, whatever.

By repositioning the property (like improving tenant quality or adding amenities), you can boost the NOI over time.
