How much couod deal be worth , a few grand ?

Either you will rent out rooms in the unit you live in or you will rent out a separate unit such as the other side of a duplex. 

$700 x's 5 rooms has you living for free plus cash.

(Note: if the amount was below $150k, you would have some limited room to save on taxes, using losses from rentals.

You will not get that help when working through a 10' pole (via a buyers agent) and then there is the gorilla in the room, working through the listing agent gives them the full 6%. 

I have spoken to many of the huntsville investors/realtors individually but it would be fun to just meet everyone in one virtual room and I am sure it will be mutually beneficial for all of us.So if you are interested then please pm me with your email id and I can set something up in the coming weeks based on the groups availability.

Zillow mostly goes by room count and square footage, and then uses the local $/sq ft to calculate.

there were all sorts of fires.. turns out they would use the sink in the bath room to put briquets in them and put a BBQ grate over it and cook their chicken skewers.. 

The reason he hasn't involved an agent because the purchase price is not far from what is owned on the home so there's not much room to tag on a commission.

The person or people at the front of the room should be treated as highly suspect.For another, never, ever invest all your life's savings in one deal.
