Sellers need to remove themselves from the emotions of the home, this goes for investors as well.Before a seller puts thier home on the market, they need to do the research, either themselves or by having a local Realtor in the area do it for them (which will also get you the most accurate data).

If they did, I would hope they would be fairly accurate for the market rate of the unit with utilities included.

Great cash flow opportunities if you do your math well and factor in an accurate rehab estimate for your offer.
