Real Estate transactions typically need to be in writing.

Appraisers don't typically work for anybody but the lenders. 

I do not have any intention of selling/buying with clients full-time; however, I find that I typically work 3-4 transactions annually for myself or friends/family.

I currently have 6 rentals with 3 more set to close here in a few weeks. these are "easy" to manage with my full time job bc I typically buy turn key rentals but I really want to focus all my time and attention into wholesaling and flipping. however, my contract with the army does not run out for another 20 months..

Wait: This can take 9 months to a year, but typically only takes 2-3 months..

Listing the home for sale will be $169K  Then I threw it on a website for rental at $2200 and there was alot of interest in renting it (and from what I could tell they were professional/career people which is typical in the area). 

Typically the high LTV HELOC and HEL only apply to owner occupied since you have more skin in the game to pay it back. 

I wouldn't call 810k an anomaly....There are weird neighborhoods where you have 10 typical 50s style homes in a row which are randomly eclipsed by some 6 bedroom brand new house. 

Typically at market rent the empty unit is rented in a single showing often with a move in on the first day that unit is available (so my turn over costs are not high).- Do a rent survey to determine market rent for your unit. 

I prefer to believe that the responses were meant to be blunt rather than meant to be hurtful.Rules of thumb have so many exceptions that they typically do not make very good rules but ...There is a 75% rule that is generically what investors desire to pay in total of the ARV price.
