Calculating ARV is just as much an art form as it is science/math.

If it's something like unpaid astronomical medical bills I would be more understanding VS it being something like an unpaid auto loan, unpaid credit cards, etc.If the rental market is soft in your area then sure - consider a strong co-signer - but if it's a more competitive market tenant-wise you should be receiving some better renters. 

I'm on BiggerPockets to network with like-minded folks and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or strategies for attracting investor clients to working with a Realtor.  

I love analyzing deals and working with just the numbers, I love learning from investor clients because many of them flip, short term rental, or BRRRR.I'm on BiggerPockets to network with like-minded folks and I was wondering if anyone had any tips or strategies for attracting investor clients to working with a Realtor.

I'm just at a loss because initially I was heavily advised against forming an LLC because of the lending concerns, and now I'm being advised to form one to separate the finances.I appreciate any advice and helpful tips.

Hello - Looking for any tips or options I can offer to my neighbor.

any other general tips?

Hopefully it will have some good tips for you in there too. https://www.biggerpockets.com/...Best of luck at college!

Harvey,There are a variety of factors at play, region will play a factor, age of property will play a factor, diminishing returns plays a factor (for instance going from 2nd to 3rd bedroom will be more valuable then 3rd going to 4th) To me the key to to a CMA is get as close of comp as you can when it comes to these factors (square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, age, size of garage, size of yard) Once you start diverting too far it become a bit more of an art then a science. 

It would be greatly appreciated if any of you had any tips or suggestions for me to get my brokers career heading in the right direction.
