For his comps, the guy used a double-wide manufactured home (mine was a stick-built site-built house), and another house that had burned to the ground (seriously, the pics showed a pile of black rubble).

To further the comment by James Vermillion, working with a wide range for ARV is dangerous, it is too tempting to look at the upper part of the range and talk yourself into a bad deal.I can't tell you how many times I have disappointed myself when starting with what I initially thought was a good deal, only to find that after running the numbers it didn't work.

At the same time, you are accumulating wealth by paying down the mortgage using OPM (other people's money) by using the rent collected to pay the lender.As an investor with a few deals under my belt, I would be looking at a property with a $ 17,000 asking price and a supposed $ 160,000 value with eyes VERY wide open!
