The idea is brilliant.

As noted, commission are always negotiable as are brokerage options (full service to discount companies that pretty much just post it on the MLS and you work with all calls, offers, etc) and an agent can go over likely net out scenarios with you and give you an idea what you likely will be able to net after closing expenses and paying off the mortgage balance. 

I have a lot of other investing ideas as well that I hope to be able to use in the near future as well. 

The idea of purposely burning down the home came to me.

I like your idea of instantly pinging a human and holding on a AI response when keywords “stars” or “review” are written.

Look, if you are looking for a bank with "no foreign wire fees" thats quite a stretch and I'd advise tossing that idea out as it will keep you on the sidelines. 

Why, I have no idea.

Let me know if you want to chat more about it or need specific model ideas!

When you mentioned you did your homework on the turnkey property, if that were the case you would have had a really good idea what the property was worth before you offered on it (of course sparing the occasional rogue appraiser, which may be what happened to you... idk) and certainly before the appraisal.

They can pull up comps for recently renovated or new construction properties from the MLS to get you a better idea of a realistic ARV.
