If you need a corny, fake story with shallow, basic made-up characters and a cliche narrative to inspire you to do it, go for it.

Also, you lump a bunch of options into your narrative (flipping, renting, wholesaling...).

Do not fail to incorporate all costs into your calculation.

However, I'm (slightly) concerned about tenant privacy and sharing locational info, although I'm not sure how either would be a problem.I would love to see other's examples of how their website is structured, and how you may have incorporated them, if you have a similar website.

They will also incorporate all of your repair and transaction costs. 

To get the replacement cost, your insurance agent should plug it into their modeling system which will incorporate square footage, catastrophe risk, etc.
