Some of the national data sites have pricing suggestions that run both high and low.

Conceptually you want to take an approach that minimizes your need to be on site - and for that reason I would advise against BRRRR.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

Quote from @Dan Mcguire: One reason not to invest, is not to lose money.

I think this site may be geared a bit more toward the avid investor, rather that the weekend warrior type of investors with regular, RE carriersOn the other hand, for myself, watching the RE market is enjoyable for me.I have always attended open houses just to be nosey or nerdy, whichever you prefer. 

If the deal goes south and you have next to zero money in the deal, selling a short sale or walking isn't as risky for you since you aren't losing much.

Does this mean the realtor does not have exclusive rights to sell the property and the owner is probably advertising the same property on one of those by owner sites?

unfortunately the overall market is tough right now and the last thing you should do is spend 50-80K to buy a random property just to "do a deal" and then lose money on it.

See what the $19k was for first, it may have been neccessary, but still that does not make it ok for them to do it without a signed CO.You can ask an attorney a few questions using sites like Avvo or Rocket for not much $$$.
