To everyone on the wholesaling forums, understand this:Focus on learning from those with real experience and a proven track record of success.Don’t waste your energy on negativity.

I saw a few higher comps that may lead some to push the arv: 956 N Chester - Sold for $182.5k ($133/sqft), 607 N Chester - Sold for $165k ($130/sqft)(2 baths though), and 520 N Bradley - Sold for $170k ($113/sqft)(also 2 baths).

Online Lead, Probate court, Seller needed to sell quickly.

I often do this when I'm trying to connect with someone on LinkedIn: I try to find out if we have any mutual connections and lead with that in my message to establish some rapport. 

However, this introduces a level of risk to the equation because now, as has been mentioned, instead of going to $0, you could end up negative big time! 

People getting laid off in similar companies like Coca-Cola, JC Penney and Sears will post the same negative reviews about a company and I completely understand that POV.

Negatives of this purchase: home does not cash flow or break even if I decide to move out of the top portion.

That could lead to future fix and flips or BRRRRs.

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

It depends upon how negative you think you're gonna go.I wish you luck.
