I am TOTALLY lost.

It’s still rough and has plenty of room for improvement, but I can upload photos of a distressed property, tax records, comps, lender rates, and local rehab costs.From there, it analyzes the photos to identify repairs, explains why they’re needed, estimates costs for each item, calculates the total rehab budget, determines ARV based on comps, and provides an expected return—basically automating a lot of what spreadsheets already do.It’s not meant to replace an analyst, and of course, everything still needs to be verified.

Quote from @Sherief Elbassuoni: Whenever I have cash, I put it as a downpayment for a new rental.Even if you got 4-5%, this is less than inflation, so your money is loosing valueMonth over month inflation is more current information than year over year...and it has been near zero in total for the past nine months and negative for 5 of those 9 months. 

I’ve actually eaten at that LazyDog, it’s in a prime spot, right near the mall, so I totally get why you’re drawn to it.

Loose cannon is totally apt.

Later I was able to buy the vacant lot between for a grand total of about 2.4 acres.All the houses are in bad shape.

But man that thing packed a punch. 4-10 with rock salt for deterrence.
