Valuation applications are better than they were in the past, but don't take them as gospel and 100% accurate.I've seen online appraisals vary by almost 10-20% (think Zestimate) for the same property, whereas physical appraisals tend to group closer together.I think valuing properties is still done best by the old-school method of physically inspecting a property and the neighborhood it is in to generate a value for it.

I currently have 110 properties and I'm looking to try and utilize the same method I have to manage it (AI +VA) in the US.

I mentiond in another message but basically I currently have 110 properties and I'm looking to try and utilize the same method I have to manage it (AI +VA) in the US.

I got the question from Jerry Norton's youtube videos on wholesaling, I assumed he was correct because he has done deals in all states using this method with real estate agents, so not to raise a red flag by putting "and/or assign" .

Then there is my favorite: depreciation expense. 

I understand this "change of payment method" is frowned upon in the industry but given the current circumstance I am wondering how many people are having to go through similar situation?

It's my business plan and method.

I am making efforts to increase my network in the area & develop relationships with buyers who are spending time & money on acquiring majority off market deals & have spoken to them about keeping me in mind if they are looking to sell something they just acquired without having to do any work on it for profit as this method should still be a better deal than buying that property through the MLS if it popped up there.

What are your favorite places to find NOD's online (seeing as how we all have to remain indoors basically)?

Certainly doesn’t sound like this method makes the decision as clear-cut, so I want to understand ‘why’ I would be analyzing the return in this manner before factoring it in to the decision.
