I've solved many problems that were more valuable than could be assigned to the property.Search "distressed properties" then look at the definition of "market value" as to the legal and economic and appraisal applications, best to look on an appraisal site.Real estate isn't like buying clams in or out of season, getting what the market will bear simply because you find someone that will agree to pay a price, search "predatory real estate practices" real estate is highly regulated, fresh clams, not so much.So, to say what is the average spread.....isn't one really, it would be ever changing.

Previous rents totaled $710- 2bed/bath upper $310 3bed 1bath lower for $400 After repairs I'll rent the upper for $1000 (cash flow $500 at first until I Refinance and pull out equity) ARV is $125k-150kI expect to be to pull out $60k liquid to start on other projects while I live for free at a place I gutted and remodeled upscale (to my liking) My suggestion would be to find a similar "house hack" opportunity, sell your place since the numbers aren't good for a rental and use the equity to start fresh with a duplex.
