In the meantime there's always the sheriff sale, NORA auctions (but nothing is left really), just good old fashioned FSBO, which is how I got my last property.I'm a Midcity girl myself with rental property near the fairgrounds and I'm also mid full gut and reno off Esplanade ... rough in stage (it's taking forever.. contractors!

Consumer credit to finance construction is often secured by dwellings in this fashion.

I know, it's old fashioned but it works!

These areas must be respected and maintained in a clean, orderly fashion - included but not limited to trash, debris, odor, unattended possessions, music or noise etc - by penalty of $100 fee per incident.

I'm assuming in similar fashion to 1 unit dwellings, all planned renovations were planned out with quotes provided ahead of time.

Could the old fashioned realtor be in trouble?

its value is different for you compared to an investor and compared to an owner occupant. if your wholesaling than your value is as follows: ARV minus repairs, holding buying/selling costs & contingency, that total minus what you want to make as a wholeseller = purchase price/value of the homean investor may see the property in the same fashion just without the wholeseller portion so an investor is able to put a higher purchase price/value on it. an owner occupant doesnt see holding, buying/selling costs as an expense. they only see repairs costs as an expense normally so they would put a purchase price/value of the home even higher than a whole seller and an investor would. so the traditional mindset of a set value doesn't apply to real estate investing. that is more for the end buyer/user.
