It's a public forum, choose to follow the advise of posters with great care.Most investors doing rent to own, L/O and contracts have followed old methods for decades, most IMO are behind the times and while they can read things in black and white in federal laws, they don't always understand the intent, even attorneys have trouble in some areas of financial regulations.

I'd love to get some of your brilliant minds to offer your opinions here.

My point is that I would use a method other than the Zillow estimate to attempt to value the home.

Is there a good way to clearly explain the approach that will show that it is a legitimate method of sale?

Not sure if many people agree with this method, but I am pursuing an investor whom is seeking a partner.

Facebook originally started this web ad trolling method I think.

See my post here for the chart and details: The Multifamily Market Cycle Peak Is Here, It’s Just Not Evenly Distributed Yet@Douglas Dowell I too am a believer in Glenn Mueller's methodology but not a fan of his Cycle Monitor reports because they are based on where he thinks markets should be in their cycle rather than where his published methods would indicate they actually are.

However there were a small handful of tax attorneys in the room and they opined as how they could see that method having some merit in a perfect storm of scenarios, judges, plaintiffs and defendants.  

If you don't mind me asking what methods did you use to obtain the leads from your courthouse?

Even if you would never use such methods to eliminate rodents, your neighbor might.
