There are some sites that are free that give decent enough comps if you don't have a realtor, zillow and red fin.

This will be a huge buyer red flag.

When we walked out the door there was a brand new shiny red Ferrari Testarossa parked outside which was and still is my favorite Ferrari.

They have eased up some but still lots of red tape.

It looks like the cabinets needed at least one more coat of the red or orange paint or stain. 

I'm working on a 4 SFR development on 15,000 square feet that requires a pond.  

The listing agent didnt list the square footage correctly, and is more like 1100 (will be 1400 after we finish closing in the back patio).  

@Antoine Nelson For example: let's say as-is non renovated houses in that area (with similar square footage and needing similar levels of repairs) have been selling for around $60k.

. $900 x 4 units = $3600 (monthly gross income )$3600/ 2 (50% rule) = $1800 (net monthly)$1800 x 12 (months) = $21,600$21,600 / .07 (7% cap rate) =$ 308,571 So after I was comfortable with the valuation of 308 I estimated the repairs to be at least $20 a square foot plus all the mechanical and electrical etc. the building is 3800 sq.ft.
