I aim to provide ARV comps for an area.

I'm sure a few choice words were added for good measure! 

But, you also won't have to complete a heavy rehab OR have to deal with any tenant problems as you will be paying someone to take those issues off your plateI think its a decent first deal to start out with, and learning through doing is the best kind of education... if you find yourself wishing you had gotten a better deal just aim higher for the next one.  

I would allow them to use it but I would also provide some written instructions for them to follow or reference and I would probably do a quick discussion with them to measure competency.

If the city is going to take extreme measures on landlords at least they're looking at making large changes to zoning to improve density. 

I was aiming for seller financing, actually.

I have heard mention of The Stack, but not a full discussion of it but based on your answer I am realizing that if you aim to increase the amount you buy every year, eventually you get to the point where your purchases, say, as an example, perhaps five years back, now are able to fund new purchases. 

We do a full video walk-thru on every property to record every detail possible...our aim is to save thousands by getting a "go, no-go" decision PRIOR to any inspections.

I greatly appreciate the feedback on whether I should cater to sellers and nurture them to sell to me directly through my social media branding or if I should I aim to inspire and share content about my life as a real estate investor and influence others to also buy real estate? 

How are you measuring profitability?
