The comment about local agents sending him MLS data when you know he's way overpriced indicates that a) he is sure he's right and doesn't actually want your input (even if he says or even thinks he does), and b) he's getting poor counsel from other agents regarding how much expertise will be helpful to him - unless he has already spent years and years showing houses to buyers, hearing why those buyers will or won't buy the house, and analyzing MLS data to see why properties did or did not sell, in which case he has a good background.The FB questions verge on the odd side - I might check out a prospective tenant's or contractor's social media pages seeing as that's someone whose trustworthiness is going to directly affect my life, but the questions he asked about it sound like they're meant to tell you how smart he is (aka, how much he actually does not need you... to list a former FSBO... which is significantly overpriced... :)Good luck, would be curious to hear what you decide.

There is expense and risk turning over a unit.We analyze how desirable a tenant is.

The larger tenants want to save time and not have to do initial heavy lifting to analyze a site.

Nobody personally inspects more property than appraisers, nobody analyzes more sales data, after years and years and thousands of sales later, appraisers develop a sense of what the value ought to be.

Yes, we all analyze deals but sometimes they get lost in the masses.
