Just by joining you are taking the 1st step to financial freedom.Ultimately, you will need to decide on your ultimate goal for investing in real estate and then determine how you want to get involved/start.

You state that PITI on the house is about $3100 and that your cashflow is negative $200 - is that because the house rents for $2900 a month, or have you truly done an all-in calculation taking into account repairs, vacancy, capex, etc. to determine your true cashflow? 

The total amount owed the bank on pmts. including fees will be the judgment amount that determines asking price at sale.

Determine what these long-term goals are and work backwards to determine which method is best for you.I know that may seem a little vague but it's your job now to educate yourself so that you can ask specific questions that require specific answers.Please feel free to pm me anytime with questions or just to chat!

As you would imagine, it is hard to locate history of a lot of comparable properties sold to determine ARV.
