@Tony Castronovo It's nice to see that the ARV and repair estimates from NewWestern and Networth are pretty accurate.

If I don't know the area and what prices are like I can't make an accurate estimate of what I'd pay.

Deals come up all the time where I'm from, via Foreclosures, Short Sales, etc. via Properties selling for $50,00 - $60,000 .If I get n accurate Estimate that the ARV will be say $80,000 - $85,000 , and Im All-In the property for $65,000 ..... then would it make sense to do the deal ?

Look up a few on Youtube so you know what they're telling you is accurate (always verify).

If these are solid rental properties, and you are accurate/honest when you do your taxes, there's a really good chance that you could get vanilla Agency loans.I have a lot of fun with batch refinances. 

But when I look at the deal I say: "if these ARVs and repairs are accurate I would lose money buying it at 50K." 

The 15-day grace period in Maine is accurate.

The math would be $15K but I am finding it hard to believe that this is accurate.

I'm most skeptical of being able to find the right properties and evaluate them accurately, all without boots on the ground.  

Being a realtor you have access to MLS and other sites that give more accurate information that the public doesn't have.
