What is astounding to me is the ready acceptance by the people purchasing these guru programs that with only the guru training they’ll be able to make tons of cash by identifying and tying up all these 40% + discount deals that all of us with the experience, education and capital have somehow missed.  

What market are you looking to build this? 

It seems like a great opportunity, but as someone based in DC, I don’t know much about Salisbury.I see that it's fairly close to a hospital, which could be good for medium-term rentals (MTR), and it's also near a university, which might attract long-term renters.For those with experience in this market, I’d appreciate your thoughts!

I’m curious, did the updated look help it sell quickly given the current market?

A good number of homes in the surrounding area have been renovated and are fetching $260k+ in SP....however I'm having a hard time trying to price mine for market.

Some call the stock market a representation of human sentiment in real time, and I imagine the real estate market is not too different.

Thanks Ned, Short answer to explain it, I did not know they were around back then, just found out now when we are coming back, a little background, when I started in 2005, I was a child :) 28 years old and thought I knew it all, all, all :), did not know about hard money lending, only new about bank loans, and Home equity lines of credit, did not know where to find more money, since I did not have much, I would rely on what I could get from banks, loans, credit cards and was not always that great, it was a learning experience.....and Wholesalers, I did not know that even existed, everything I would find back then was already on the market and through a "friend" agent, MLS, FMLS and all those, nothing like what we have today.

You might use Zillow's zestimate, a CMA (Comparable Market Analysis) provided by a realtor, or just your own analysis of recently sold similar properties.
