The accuracy of the information is not guaranteed.

Just a point I would like to make since it hasn't been brought up is the accuracy of the information provided by RealtyTrac and Foreclosure.com.They have been incorrectly listing our home on their foreclosure lists for the last 2 months.

Actually, I trust them more than any other data source, for accuracy, including all MLS systems(which I find the most inaccurate).

Also, what do you think of sites like rentometer - are you seeing any accuracy with the reported rents in your OH markets?

Their goal was personal knowledge of EVERYTHING about the present condition of a property, and then they could plan the future with more accuracy.

I was curious as to the accuracy of this tool.

Hearing your thoughts though I want to double check the accuracy of that statement.

An even more important note, so you're not chasing your tail - credit companies could care less about accuracy.

If the wholesaler is giving an ARV, he should know what type of rehab it will take to get to that ARV.And that's the rehab number I'm looking for.Personally, I don't expect a wholesaler to be able to tell me how much a rehab will cost with any accuracy.

I think more of what you are asking is how the occupancy level and accuracy will affect what kind of loan you can get and how much you will put down and how much the debt service will be.A regular lender at 90% occupied maybe 6.5% fixed at 75% ltv.If you get into value add deals you will pay points and a much higher rate to fund and lower LTV.You will then need to refi after stabilizing about 1 year out.So you build the carrying costs into the amount of time needed.The books will determine the verified income and actual costs.From there you run your desired cap going in and that tells you around the price you want to pay.Now if the books are out of normal standard margins you have to ask yourself why that is (deferred maintenance,undisclosed credits to tenants,disguising fees paid to themselves in other line items,etc.)
