We ended up partnering 50/50 on the deal, and his father who has been looking to invest in real estate, acted as our private money lender so we could close quickly, in cash.Fast forward a few weeks later and I've just closed on an off market deal where we paid $15k below appraisal for a tenanted cash flowing SFR, started a partnership with a great friend who has a very complimentary skill set and work style to mine, and gained access to a private money lender with deep pockets.

For instance, I'm good at client management and Erin's good at mocking my personal style, so it works well ... ;)Seriously, even if it didn't work out, everything you ever read about successful people says you learn more from failure than from inaction.

Some use style of property say row houses, some use price range and some use a geographical area.

Again, that helps to know if my expectations are flawed or if the seller/listing agent just doesn't understand the market.And if you do want a realtor to do 67 rent assessments, I hate to break it to you but they'll probably just hit up Rentometer, a Zestimate style guess, or something else that's quick. 

Hi Linda, I'm not sure if I've got a good fit, but I've got a ranch style 3br / 2ba off of I-70 and Wadsworth in Wheat Ridge coming up for rent on the 1st of 2018 probably about $2200.

Pull comps from the mls, (when pulling comps look for: time of sale, location/proximity, age and style, size, condition) 2.

you always hear 3/1 or 3/2 family style as the bread and butta but these are "studio" apt and I should market that way.  

From the pictures online and from walking around the property the day the listing was posted, I found tattered siding and a roof style that was flat - which is a little bit of a red flag.

Cash flow is sacrificed somewhat using BRRRR.  

Anyone who cannot tell me what they charge or how they charge or who is really conservative doesnt really fit my style.
