But you can’t just look at the top / elite salespeople and say “I can do that no problem” and bet your income on it.Those top percent really hustle, even have to pay for additional staff to help them, and generally pay for additional advertising and services (eg professional photos, etc)Good luck.

The easiest way to underwrite the number for me is by looking on the short term rental platforms(airbnb/vrbo) as a potential guest and review the host's schedule/previous month reviews for occupancy and average nightly rate.

If my options are pay $150 PMI or 15% more downpayment I will bet the $150 for the next 3 years as we are in a mkt where appreciation is no less than 5% annually. 

The first property I bought was in 2009 having only read 1 book on real estate and not having an online platform and community like BiggerPockets or any mentors to resort to for advice.

I bet local lenders, inspectors, title companies, and insurance folks would have a similar read. 

You'll find a wealth of information and a great crowd on this platform. 

Your best bet is to raise the capital from a private lender or syndicate the deal.

Hello everyone Im fairly new here and i see this is a great platform for advice.My current situation is now being a stay at home dad due to being laid off earlier this year.

I bet it could sell for more than $200k, but I am being conservative just in case.

Giving your brother-in-law the benefit of the doubt, I bet all he wants is do is complete his project and pay you and everyone else off.
