I just pulled out a random appraisal from one of my files and the adjustment field on that line is left blank.

AVM is a digital computer valuation, (not a one with a person who measures/ analyzes the houses) max I can get with a random house I inputted in Selma that has 2554 feet was $435000 just now.

Add in the security deposit, first/last month rent, and random crap I'd need to get settled in temp spot in KC I'd be damn close to a down payment on investment. 

Random example - I know someone who takes ice fishing trips every and has advanced knowledge on the ins and outs of that world that you and I would never know.

I would avoid using random people form Craigslist or Facebook.

I get 30+ calls, texts, and snail mails per week from some random wholesaler looking for prey.

You have a 1031 exchange, (that might get chopped under the Biden administration) but you have it for now. you have 180 days to close under the 1031 and must identify a property in 45 days. there is also a percentage rule that applies too and i cant think of them right now but in essence it prevents you from just hurrying up and "cherry picking" a random property just to end the 45 day clock or the 180 day clock. you get equity in REI that you can leverage, you get loan paydown (which increases your credit score and reputation at a bank), and finally you CAN get appreciation if you buy right. 

A few random late payments in the past are also different than if someone missed payments over the last few months.

Across the street is a high end condo complex, and kiddy corner there is a large lot owned by a a land rich guy who has a lot of random machinery and vehicles laying around which I admit, looks crappy, but is not a danger in any way.

There is some chirping and randomness to sort through; however, some decent nuggets here and there.
