Our minimum loan amount is 50k and we have a look back period of 10 years are far as experience is concerned.

The report literally says it's an opinion of value and people pay OVER (and under) appraisal price all of the time.

Good morning BiggerPockets,I am a new investor/wholesaler and I am trying to understand the most effective way of finding the ARV of a property without having access to the MLS?

I know I need to learn all local regulations, why the property is available, if the current tenants have leases, all of the financial analyses (Let me know if any of you have come across something I might not know), section 8, available grants, and possibilities to finance the deal if the numbers work.  

Quote from @Pat Arneson:Usually, the city website has all the utility companies for the city that you should be contacting.

@Agatha OliveiraSharing an operating agreement does not pierce your LLc and every contract you enter into the company should ask for a copy of the operating agreement to confirm the person signing has that authority

And thankfully, by the time I needed to execute on those options and actually complete the purchase of the leased properties, I had developed some private lender relationships that allowed me to complete those 3 transactions and several more thereafter.

What I mean by that is that paying for leads that get sent to you just because you are paying for them is not smart scale right now, it costs too much for lukewarm.I was on Zillow Flex with my team of 50 for years and crushed it, but we had to kiss a lot of frogs at 35 percent referral fee.

Quote from @Sharad Bagri: For a general partnership (without the LLC), that will invest in real estate in Ohio, what kind of bank account can we open, like checking, saving or anything else?

Making an emotional purchase decision on an investment property and ignoring the numbers.
