This would seem so much easier than getting the Sellers to sign over a Power of Attorney, the method I have seen most people use.The above example does not have the transaction funding fees, but feel it increases your liability.Would my assumption be correct?

You can sometimes talk them into doing it if you work out a deal where they will also get to do the appraisal for the buyer when they buy the house and have to do a mandatory one.however, these paid sites have also been recommended to me (by john lydic on this forum if I remember correctly) for getting comps.

I hope I'm asking these questions correctly.

No algorithm is going to spit out a correct number .

. -- some commenters are correct in pointing out that you had $305 in the deal and cashed out $308 from the refi, so you actually have no cash left in the deal, giving you an unlimited return (cannot divide by zero) =) Even better!

If you have an investor lend you money - that investors is not in a flipping business, he is simply a lender, loaning money to you.Let me reiterate what I said earlier: you should contact a professional and discuss your situation in details to get a proper guidance, you can only share limited amount on the forum... based on the above discussion I can't say that I fully understand your business model, if we were talking on the phone that would be a different situation, I can ask any clarifying questions I need to get a full understanding in order to provide you with correct guidance...

That is correct.

It being newer could change that but if you plan on holding long term all these items will need to be replaced anyway so best to run your numbers correctly now.  

You are correct your agent wont get paid -- but there are sooo many more reasons to use an agent then money.
