Working in both insurance and looking at investments, I've never seen the county numbers match up with the actual value of the home.

My understanding, was that I could "hang my license" on another brokers wall for potentially a fee without actually working for them.

The actual house and the lot next door is commercial option also as it sits on Main Street (route 30) in Manchester.

Always consult an actual atourney3.

My second concern would be what the lease to own agreement actually says.

Credit report: Actual cost 4.

From speaking with another (actual) investor, I learned that this group operated heavily in the Stockton and Sacramento area.Bottom line: if you come across someone who tells you that you have to pay to learn from them, I would suggest to continue looking - it is possible that you may learn something from the "education," but, in higher likelihood, you'd only end up deeper in debt, or worse, in a bad RE deal that they could not find anyone else to sell to.There are plenty of honest people still around, many are successful and some of those have blogs and podcasts that you can learn from for free (although, they still seem to have something to sell you, but it is a fair trade off.)

My weird 55.9% of the original asking price was actually oddly specific and based on comps, rehab estimates, etc. 

I'd actually recommend the whole series.

If you are underwriting a property do you consider that the income may actually decrease (if so by how much) or do you think worst case scenario rents are stagnate?
