@Robert Howard, to reiterate what @John Leavelle wrote, the "recent sales in area" might NOT be comps at all (ie. not SAME neighborhood; not SAME square footage; not SAME type of property), so averaging out THEIR sale price isn't the answer (unless they ARE valid "comps").What John is inferring about buying ARV-condition properties is that you'll likely have to save your OWN deposit for them - EVERY time (rather than be expecting to refi in 6 months to get your deposit back to Brrrr), because you won't be adding extra equity to them!

People do not want Big Brother sharing their private information.As soon as you say - "so I hear you are in financial trouble" (I'm sure you wouldn't be adding "and loosing your house") they may go running for the hills.

I'll definitely be adding you to my connections.
