But then again I don’t have a vested interest in their buying in to the hype.The other side of the “nothing down” methodology is that in many, if not most instances, being able to put together a nothing down deal results in paying over market value for the subject property, or over market interest rate for the financing.  

GCs that build get their piece as a fixed fee or a market driven % of cost.

Check recent sales and rental data beyond Zillow estimates to gauge true market value.

Most of our tenants stay between 9 months and 2.5 years.We could tighten up our criteria and maybe get a longer tenancy (we are part missional in this, trying to help those with fewer housing options), but some of it is driven by the poor economy here.  

Rental Demand:While Plano has traditionally been a strong rental market, recent data might indicate some softening.

The leasing manager isn't going to like this change, and then I've got to figure out what to do with 20 years of data that is probably not recorded correctly, but in the end, what's easiest and most accurate is what needs to rule.

Quote from @Bob Stevens: Quote from @Stacy Raskin: There are lenders that will help finance up to 90% of the purchase price and a 100% of the rehab up to 75% of the ARV with 660 and above credit (the exact details depend on the property and the borrower's credit profile). with zero experience, VERY risky for the lender,  There are lenders that are willing to take the risk if they have the data from their past deals to support it. 

The data in the MLS is only as good as the agent that enters it- great point.
