The appraiser will give the most weight to the most recently sold, and if the prices are going down, they will factor that decline into the final value.I recently refi'd a home. 

Got to work faster next time

Everyone wants to get out faster!

I’m able to find information on properties faster than your average investor.

I haven't done this myself but I have done a lot of BRRRRs and if I had known this earlier, I could have grown faster.  

Also, if you are time rich and money poor, this is a way that you can build sweat equity and increase your net worth faster than passive.On the other hand it requires a lot of work, a lot of education and knowledge.

If you don't have cash, having a 200K job doesn't help you too much in my opinion other than it may allow you to save up cash faster. 

The amount of weight being hauled off of your property will be at a minimum, cut in half. the demo of the property will take much less time, costing you much less money.

We have a family/kids etc. but I believe I can increase not only our income but our wealth faster and less stressful by not working my day job anymore.

(Most new complexes are being built in secondary and tertiary markets.)Faster appreciation.
