I know it would be rare for someone looking to purchase a house to steal stuff but the quantity of valuables here is very large.

How are they "stealing" your deals?"

Loosely based on what is said above (assuming everything is accurate), it sounds like a FMV type deal, not a steal."

innova,I have many rentals with almost identical rents here in Ohio.

In other words, same bedroom count, same construction quality and style, same size, and, most importantly, same neighborhood.It doesn't have to be an identical house, but it needs to be reasonably close, and it needs to have sold recently enough to matter.

The scum that steal them and cut you out are people you want to identify.

This class of tenant is going to tear it up or steal it anyway.

if you are wholesaleing rehab properties, your savvy buyers are going to want an absolute steal, I would be surprised if you can break off 5-10k consistently with no money and no risk.sounds beautiful, that's why the gurus sell that...now is as good a time to rehab as any if you ask me.

An ideal comp would be an identical duplex with two 3/1s, exactly the same size, ranch, no basement no garage right next door that fixed up into pristine shape and sold last week.

If you're familiar with finding the net present value (NPV) of future cash flows, it is nearly identical- determining what to use for the annual cash flows becomes the important part.
