Now inexperience people on this board will tell you that the seller pays the fee.....you don't.  

From what I've seen, many new wholesalers make the mistake of inflating ARV values out of inexperience, greed, etc. what are some reliable sources for pulling comps so that I can get a more realistic ARV.

I also wanted to look at the potential pit-falls that I might not see because of my inexperience in real-estate investing.The basic model of the business is that I would purchase property, most often land, then create the zoning and building plans, and sell the pre-developed property to a real-estate developer, netting the difference .

To me this is a sign of inexperience or un-proven returns, especially when coupled with the age of the website.

My worry is that as the target properties scale in size, my ability to write a strong contract could falter due to my inexperience and I will potentially be hurting my clients' ability to snag a deal.Ultimately I plan to enlist the mentorship and help of more experienced commercial agents in my office when it comes down to writing a contract, but for now I wondered if the community has some general guidelines or advice on things such as:Inspection period: How long do you need for 5 unit, 10 unit, etc...?

I am interested in experimenting with rental arbitrage: (approaching landlords and renting their property for the purpose of listing it as a short-term rental)If you are a landlord currently engaged in rental arbitrage, could you comment on your experiences.

I realize I'm looking through the goggles of inexperience, but it's hard for me not to get excited about a property that is under $10K who's ARV is $100K with rents around $1K or more if it's multifamily.

I’m not sure how I would be able to find funding and if my age and inexperience will make it harder.

If we were to do careful research and analysis, are there going to be people interested in investing with us or is the inexperience enough to rule us out, even if the numbers look good?

This could be because the lender did not have complete confidence in the ability of your business to repay the loan through the properties (i.e. short/no business history, inexperience of the business manager, foreseeable market challenges, etc.).
