I want to build a rental portfolio, but wondered if company sponsored relocation was a sweet enough deal to push me towards selling vs. renting?

One CAN figure out approximately how much a property sold for even if it's not listed in the records:  extrapolate the transfer taxes (state/county/city) and multiply out.Just an aside:  I remember back in the day when the appraisals were coming in short in an appreciating market (something like we have today) we would ask the buyer to pay MORE money for the transfer taxes (no law about not paying more taxes) and it would help show a higher "sales" price and help 'push' up the comps--not recommending you do that now--much more data available for all eyes.But I would recommend that you buddy up with a like-minded realtor, and work out a mutually beneficial arrangement so you can get the info you need, and they can get listings, sales, referrals, etc, that they need.Better yet, get licensed yourself and get to know the business from the inside out!

We pushed on anyways and started doing our first BRRRR.

At the time I thought this was fine and I was working for his company going from site to site to take pictures and hire contractors and manage the flips.Fast forward to October 2017, after several occasions of my bringing up the note and him pushing it back over and over, as well as, trying to convince me to roll the money over to the next investment, I finally the demanded the note be due (as per agreement written in the note).

I guess my question would be what expense is pushing the difference of $300k between your seller and your mentor?

This then pushed up housing prices.

and would do everything possible to push them out the door if possible.

I know by law they are obligated to address but they just trying to push it back.

I am a bit of a push over I suppose.

Chester Baldwin at thr Wash LL association has been a great help and no one knows this stuff better than him.
