@Anthony Gayden, besides you wearing a Blue collar, you would be a light blue, you have paperwork to do at a desk but you are also out there physically doing work, so your a blend of the two.

All of the data is shown right in front of you, and you have to apply your own heuristics for selecting the appropriate comps including their age, distance from the subject, counts of rooms, size within of each other, lot sizes, etc.We can discuss all day long about how good or bad Zillow data is, and honestly, it depends very much on the market, and how quickly a sale gets reflected in the public record.In my SoCal market, it's actually pretty quickly, and I often end up using a blend of suggested comps from Zillow and my own comps that I import from other places such as Redfin, your free MLS alternative.

She is open to a "blended situation" whereby as we start to travel, we hand over more and more "ground time" at a vastly reduced rate.

Her income will be able to be used, but the question is do we go off of the current 13 week situation or blend the 2 year average.

- Requiring a rate greater than a blended mix of 10yr mutual/index fund return averages?

I am a Real Estate Agent that specializes in loss mitigation (short sales) in Florida.I think the response that you are witnessing from agents is a blend of frustration and lack of education/skills to deal with what you are asking them to do.In my opinion (and obviously it's biased!)

But hey, my low-income properties on the 'other' side of town that house blended families will always be safe because of the race card.Unfortunately, I don't see matters much improving as we transition into our wonderful socialist future led by kind and caring bureaucrats......

I suggest that the cap rate that you use be at least 2 points higher than your expected interest rate (blended or otherwise) because this provides a cushion considering financing and other factors.

If your creative you can put it together.5) blend... how about a owner financed deal, where your private lending partner puts in the down payment.

Believe me, I do not want to live here, but the opportunity in Memphis is unparalleled.
