The reality is that most of your properties will probably not be in a bidding war. 

napkin math we have done with rents at about 1200 or less 40 to 50% of gross for costreal low rents and the number goes higher.. if you do better great but this should give you a reality number over a 10 year hold.  

But that doesn't stop the perception which is often what drives prices until reality sets in.  

You will need W2 or employees instead of 1099s (in reality they will never fly - per IRS, in CA at least).

In reality, as long as payments are being made they don't seem to care.  

Hi @Roland Amparo The more money the better of course, then your ability to close is a reality vs needing to wholesale your deals.

Which is kind of silly, but a reality.     

Just a young 24yr old with lots of energy and curiosity to learn and make some goals become reality!

If you can say with confidence that the Zestimate is usually within 10% of reality in your market, or is consistently 20% high (or whatever), then it can be a useful rough screening tool for a quick desktop analysis. 

I'm not bragging, that's just the reality.
