To do that though, you also need to convince the real estate agent that it is worth their time for 3 showings.Getting a good, quality, accurate price should be your goal or you could get into a large financial bind by buying a property that is more expensive to rehab that you thought it would be. 

What is being said above is accurate.

Very spot on how accurate and specific this map is imp.  

I’m aware that Zillow isn’t accurate, but that doesn’t matter to my buyers as they will still try to utilize this as a negotiation tactic.

But realize that they WILL make money on the 3 poisons.Does that sound accurate?

The 50% rule is way more accurate (for now) than anything in a listing or brokers pro forma-Latin BTW for what comes out of the south end of a northbound cow.If it passes this approximation I will drive out for a look, walk the neighborhood-with my dog, look over the parking lot for the building.

You know, because the government never takes advantage of us.Zillow recommendations are not accurate.

If they know they are competing for the job you'll get better pricing and a more accurate diagnosis.

It would be a long term hold, but I can see the gamble working out.

Once you build a small portfolio of solid rentals, then maybe take a gamble at something more risky.
