From what I've read online fiberglass seems to last longer, cheaper, and be more low maintenance, but most of this information came from fiberglass companies, so not sure if its true/bias.

The lure of quick wealth and cash flow (even though many noobs don't know how to calculate true cash flow), etc., causes far too many to get in the game before they're ready and therefore they make bad choices with their hiring.

They may use the comps you are looking at or they may go way out and find true comparables, which could kill the deal if the lender needs comps within a certain distance.

I’m specifically thinking about commercial deals, but I’m sure it’s true and residential as well.

@Christian Espana @Bradley Dosch That's what I know to be true as well.

I know there are a zillion posts about partnership structure and the details...yes, I know "whatever you and your partner decide between you" is true.

If this is true, then I think you should dig more into the current tenants.

, and the ones that did were way back in 2014 before my guess is they were fixed / rehab'ed it makes it harder to determine it's true value.That said, it's definitely a deal given it's one of the last homes, that's not been renovated in the area up for sale. 

@Tim GibersonYes, that's very true!

We have considered buying a fixer-upper, but the current market is oversaturated with true cash buyers (not investors using hardmoney), which has added some barriers to entry.
