I put the vacancy at 10% because I saw Brandon's you tube video on how to fill out the calculator and he says he usually puts 10%.

Any online system is using an algorithm and data from properties recently sold or currently on the market.

PM me if you would like a couple of local names.BTW, no matter what YouTubers, guru courses or books you've read say, wholesaling is illegal in Massachusetts - unless you actually buy and then resell the property.In MA, you cannot market a property that you don't already own without a license to sell real estate.

No algorithm can evaluate the interior condition of a property and determine an ARV.

I started out watching countless videos on YouTube with the Flipman and Max Maxwell it is also alot of great people in this forum that are willing to guide you in the right direction.

I've been listening to podcasts & watching YouTube financial gurus but have zero real experience. 

The one that was the most comprehensive for an introduction wasAsset Protection For Physicians And High-Risk Business Owners (ISBN 9780963997128).However the best general training that I saw was the little bit outdated "1 Day Total Asset Protection Training" by Mangelson with a comprehensive overview of estate planning, asset protection and tax optimization.And of course last but not least, the youtube page of Clint Coons where you can find hours of training on LLCs for real estate protection, land trust, etc...After watching all of those, you will have a better understanding of all the concepts and tools involved.

I'm going to post this as a timeline to make it easier to follow.3 months prior to getting my first deal I listened to BP podcasts everyday, watched Youtube videos of investors, and liquidated all the funds that I could. 04/2017- After researching and learning about REI, I finally got my first SFR at the auction for $89,000.

I've been doing a lot of research (reading, listening to podcasts, watch YouTube, etc) on wholesaling.
