After at least ten different incidents where the "zestimate" was off, the asking price had either been lowered at least a week or more earlier, simple things like square footage were different from the MLS listing, tax assessments were incorrect, and estimated rent was pretty different from real time evaluations by my RE agent, I have finally decided I may be wasting my time...Does anyone on BP actually use Zillow effectively?

This could result in the tenant/buyer suing the seller, especially if she can't or doesn't return the option money.My basic rule of thumb is that if a seller is in financial distress, do whatever you can to get the deed (low cash offer, Sub2, Sub2 with equity payment via a seller carry-back 2nd mortgage).

It's over 100 years old but looks to be in decent shape and rentable basically as is.

At its most basic, a bitcoin is virtual currency.

If he's just opening up houses for you to assess as an investment, rehab, etc. then it shouldn't be a big deal for him to take calls.

Basically, the gist of it is, once it's listed, the agent will always be a part of the transaction in some way.

@Will Barnard it was a rehab flipper he was located out of state he sent a contractor over to check out the repairs but the foundation work was 10,000 dollars over my estimate basically the same with the first deal also @Victor Roberts that is alot of post man !

Some basic strategies I know of are wholesaling, sandwich, and mobile home contracts.Also, what are good Exit strategies for young investors?

Right now I don't have the funds to match, but do know the market better and have a solid understanding of the basics.

The corporate life is becoming very monontonous and way to political these days so I am taking the plunge to learn a bit more about REI to hopefully someday (soon) make a leap and fulfill a dream.My experience is limited to a few books, some great reads here on the BP forums, growing up in a DIY family (so I am pretty confident in basic carpentry), and priding myself with common sense.
