What do you think is fair?”

@Patrick MenefeeIn places where I’ve lived, including Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia the 1% rule is fairly easy to hit.

I have a fair amount of equity in a previous rental. 

Its fairly affordable and obtainable so I dont see the harm in experimenting on its relevancy to my real estate career.

Account Closed Depends on how the algo's are structured...I use Core Logic and find them to be fairly accurate...truth be told, it's impossible to produce AVM's and be accurate long term...especially in a rapidly changing market.

@Christopher Smith I agree the process is fairly straightforward but the risks of doing it yourself and having the IRS throw out your conclusion and taking on penalties and interest for under reporting income is something to factor into your cost decision.

Proctor and Gamble just established a large manufacturing facility in the area, which is bringing in many jobs for people.

I'm relatively young and at a point in my life where I can be fairly aggressive with my investment decisions.

With verbal leases, a tenant could claim they are on a rent-to-own arrangement, or that their "handshake" included a "no overnight guests from racial group x" fair housing violation.

I gave them two choices: 1) Decide what is fair compensation/reimbursement OR 2) Let a judge decide.I know this happens more than it should.
