Dang now everyone will steal my idea :)How would I go about finding out?

I suspect with all the identity theft going on, people are reluctant submit applications, to persons unknown.I recently re-rented my property through Craigslist, Zillow, which includes Trulia.

And turns out i got this property for a steal bc DWs are titled like cars. 

So I have an Agent I've been working with to run comps for me, interesting thing is her comps frequently put the property 20-30k above my ARV's everytime, just like wholesalers I see out there who are trying to misslead people.For example she recently sent me comps of a property that had an average ARV around 140k, the problem is every property on her list had nearly double the square footage, so these aren't even accurate comps at all.I use a program that allows me to search the MLS and runs comps for me and I feel like I'm pretty thorough in keeping square footage within a couple hundred feet, bedrooms and baths nearly identical and factoring in certain amenities like pools,garages ect ect.Do you feel like this Agent simply doesn't know what she's doing?

I am looking into building something simple side by side identical units 2 bed 1 bath 1 car garage around 900 square foot each.

That is about 10-15/month which is a steal when you think about how much knowledge you can gain from networking with people.

The only difference I see is that you've severely limited your growth by not fully utilizing leverage.I'm not saying to go out and buy a bunch of houses, I just don't see the advantage of paying cash for one, unless it's an absolute steal.
