25 years ago my wife was a sceptic but the rental income from just one of our high end SFR pays the entire cost of that rental & the 5000 sq ft home we live it.

I will work with a realtor to get comps, and submit them along with an offer IF we get there.I thank you for your comments, but let me say that I am still a bit sceptic about the precision in the pricing.

I always feel sceptical reading peoples equity claims, no point giving people a reason to be sceptical of me.What about the tenant?

I had studied some courses, and I am very sceptical to join with an out of town mentor.

I am actually quite sceptical of the claims about the drywall being so bad that the house has to be torn down, etc.

@Bjorn AhlbladYeah I am familiar with rat poop seen it many times in my childhood, I have been scanning every nook and corner within my building for traces and I haven't found even the slightest trace of it let alone an actual mice/rat.Perhaps I am getting paranoid about a non-existent issue but as said I just want to err on side of caution.I will most probably reach out to a professional but I am somewhat sceptical about them as most resort to predatory practices.

@Justin Windham I appreciate you jumping in and backing up what Mike S. says with some of your own personal experience, it bodes well with my inner sceptic haha.

I don't want to be part of any pay-for-mentor program so REIN worries me a bit although looks like a legitimate organization.I would give Don Campbell, the folks at REIN, and their ACRE System a wide birth ... or, if you feel compelled to attend one of their pitches ... err, meetings, bring a healthy dose of scepticism with you.

All I can say is that I'm sceptical by nature, and the nature of this business and the time I've devoted to my craft has maybe made me a bit jaded.

If the agent is open to it, I think you will learn a lot.But just like in rich dad poor Dad, the guy who Robert worked for free was sceptical even though Robert was a millionaire and had multiple businesses.
