Not to mention that we live in a world of massive data collection for real estate, your “comps” would be easily red flagged by collateral underwriter programs processing your appraisal.

I strongly believe the the community I purchased my primary in has massive potential upside, and have been blown away by the prices i've seen my neighbors sell their properties for within just a year of owning. 

(A healthy read on that notion is Ray Dalio's Work and Life Principles - most of his life he has been looking to predict the future of markets, commodities and economies and he failed a few times on a massive scale; one of his key messages: being radically open minded and discussing a topic with someone who has polar opposite views and trying to understand their rational is the single best way to test your assumtions.)Hate to say it but BP is contributing to this problem: it makes me almost angry every time I see a new blog with a catchy title, such as: "512% profit on my first deal!"

A few months ago I was going to buy a rental property which fell through, but then an opportunity came up today where a house that my dad bid on before seeing it (bad decision to not look first, the house was completely molded on all the walls, ceiling, and floors and has some leaking roof problems.) but he got an offer accepted for a massive low ball bid (was listed for 110K but after he notified them of all the mold they accepted his new offer of 20K, bank is in a different state.)

This city outside of the historic/downtown district isn't seeing massive appreciate in housing prices so if you're going to BRRR or flip make sure you understand the ARV well.

They're great now, but if you look at trends they're turning purple, and soon to be going solid blue, unless something massive changes in terms of trajectory.

Bigger investors scale up to multiple deals a month and therefore use massive amounts of leads, so they need to change strategy.
