They make their money off of real estate agents, but real estate agents are the worst people to make money off because they are highly unreliable and in and out of the business when the market changes.Their target should be the consumer with higher levels that they can subscribe too for data, since Zillow is linked to the MLS now which makes their data somewhere more reliable.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

.- Capturing searchers with high-intent- Spend is flexible (unlike ILS networks)- Semi-easy to manage once you get the hang of itThere's a lot more I can share, but hope this is helpful!

The first agent is absolutely certain the house will sell in the high 400’s.  

Having the contractor relationship in place to move quickly and provide a high quality renovation at a reasonable price.

Of course this is on the high end of what I have seen in Oregon we can usually get to the same place for 100 to 200k..

If one is way too high or way too low I think its a red flag. 

Maybe it is ok if it is for you to live there and enjoy the amenities, but no need for you to pay high dues for a tenant to use the pool.Many condos don't qualify for FHA financing in Dallas. 

@Samuel Coronado - the challenge is that there will likely be a very small number of renters looking for a house that size, as well as that can afford a rent amount that high who won't just buy otherwise. 

If you put less than 5% down, your return on equity is likely sky-high.
