Cleared a home-site, put in a driveway and some other site work with cash. 

I recommend watching the webinars on site, Listening to the podcast on the way to work, and reading every REI book you can find.

I'd like to know if the appraisals listen on a tax assessors site are ARV prices (if the home was in perfect condition), or what the house is worth as it sits.

I've had the hardest time trying to message you on the site.

If it happens to be bad timing, you may not be able to sell it in which case you have to hold onto it and try to rent it out to produce income.Note buying is only passive if you do it through a syndication or crowdfunding site that will handle all of that for you.

Are you relying on your agent or using other methods. 

I've looked into advertising on zillow/realtor, Facebook and other sites but with no experience I'm not sure on which one or if any is most beneficial for a new realtor at a relatively unknown brokerage.

Great that you joined the site!

This could be the same realtor helping you purchase the property OR you can look on public listing sites (Zillow, realtor, etc.) to check out listings in the area.

With the coming of online vacation rental sites like Airbnb, true occupancy is not disclosed, and we're left to guess.The result of guessing is some level of inaccuracy (mild to wild), which brings criticism to market pricing / availability tools.
