I'm not even sure how salary got introduced into this scenario but I'd prefer to discuss solutions and explore ways to get to the objective. 

It can be used to monitor markets, filter results based on lots of different criteria & even includes annual revenue numbers that you can work backwards to see how certain markets/properties are performing.

I believe the prices will fall even more.

My biggest client today is a seller I didn’t even represent during his sale of a 24-unit building—he had another agent.

Your estimate seems low, but even at that cost, it will not add that value.  

There are never full photos of the mechanicals and basement and roof line so you will never have even a bare inkling of what the potential repairs will be.

Even though you have a VA loan, you still WANT good credit.  

Hahaha I'd bet anyone under 40 doesn't even know what that is :D OK.

Even learning a real estate market distant from you is a big task on its own!

I have a lender that will do cash out refinances even if no rehab was done on the property, using the higher appraised value the day after you buy a house.
