My town fairly low income area, housing prices are rising much faster then incomes. 

I’ve never liked the idea of wholesalers playing in this arena anyway.....they often will tie up an owner who is on a clock, then they can’t flip it, and it’s like “oh well, it didn’t work out” when the owner Could have sold to real buyer and now likely doesn’t have time to do do.

Now I'm just trying to get everything lined up and stop "playing" REI.

I feel like a slow monthly increase would be a good way to raise the rent but I dont know if thats a normal thing in this business like for example unit A 3 bedroom current rent 160/week for the first month of my owner ship it will stay the same, 2nd and 3rd month rent will increase to 170/week, 4th and 5th month rent will increase to 180/week and so on and so forth until I get to the fair market rent.

(of course this can be remedied with title insurance which is part of your vetted team)2) Don't understand the Time Value of Money and how discount, terms, face rate of the note, an time all play into calculating a true yield, ROI or Internal Rate of Return. 3) Don't want to put effort into researching and fact checking before presenting a deal for consideration.

I’m fairly handy, working with tools and making repairs for a living.

However, when I do a property search on the tax assessors website, many times the Fair Market Value listed by the county is much lower than the properties list price?  

So why play games?

Also, a fair market valuation will need to be performed for each distribution. 

I am looking for someone in both of my markets;  Indianapolis, IN (46218), and Detroit, MI (48208) to provide yearly determinations of fair market value.
