A comp range of 43K on a 60K property seems way too broad to base your decision on.

Use the internet to research all the properties available in your area. 

That's a broad question.

There are many available online that are created to be very general/broad, so if you plan on going the DIY route I would say finding one of those might suit you best - I am pretty used to adjusting them significantly, so the drafts I have aren't generally applicable without adding to them.

He used a flip phone until last year, does not pay for internet and is in general very frugal and takes the extra money to put into investments. .You do not have to go with out internet!

@Michael WlosekWhat does it cost to give him the digital copies and rights to the plansI get plans drawn all the time for .85 to 1$ per square ft if we use the plan off the internet we buy those in addition to not get in trouble with copyright laws.

I find they're able to maintain a detached, broad view of the situation and open your eyes to things you may be missing while working in the middle of things.

@Heather Dane - Check out Costco bank i.e ‘Bank of the internet’ which is now Axos Bank as of late 2018/Early 2019They have coverage in all 50 states or at least 48 from what I know and int rates and loan fees are undoubtedly one of the best (if not the best)...Costco would t tie up with them otherwise.We did a cashout refi on our primary back in late 2017...I’d highly recommend it

Then, during the $500 workshop the guru spends 10% of the time teasing you with tiny bits of information and 90% of the time trying to sell you on an advanced course for $10,000 to $20,000.You can find too much information on the internet, FOR FREE, and you can get really serious and honest advice at real estate clubs where nobody will ask you to pay money for their help.Don't try to force yourself into a business or market niche.
