Because we desperately want and need these questions answered, and because of the basic "truth" of people paying more for more and less for less, and because we believe (mistakenly IMO) that appraisal is nothing more than math and therefore a mathematical solution must exist out there somewhere if we could only identify it, that it is in fact possible to answer these questions/valuation problems.

Ideally I’d like to be able to buy and hold multiple properties down the road.

That might or might not be the number they use in their deficiency lawsuit against the borrower down the road but it could be, and that minimum or opening bid is the start of all that.

I use a pro forma spreadsheet to evaluate my options, with a slew of inputs, to help me figure out if a potential investment makes sense from day one, and how it likely will look 10 or 20 years down the road as well.

Other strategies, we’re solely looking to buy and hold, cash out refi and repeat with the options for HELOC down the road.
