You need to research your own area to determine the best path to invest.

ARV will be determined by looking at comparable sales in the area.

Market determines price.

I can def introduce you to a bunch of internet marketing peeps as well.

@John Underwood So how do they determine "market rent"?

The lightning surge came through the internet and network cable connections.

We don’t have $87k in cash to feasibly do that at this time (without taking out any loan for it), but of course, checking his loan docs will determine the next move on that end.Yes, selling is his ultimate goal.  

To me, that would be the determining factor.

@Mandy Ellett definitely a valid point that it would be greatly determined by the market!
