I was even told by Phil that my video was amazing (I've worked as a professional video editor and mine was pretty well produced).

My issue is not having that person to bounce numbers off of or to confirm not just the market listed price but the recently sold properties as I don't have access to the MLS for comps....I've seen Brandon's videos for comps and how to use Zillow and Trulia and or redfin to ball park that property and go for the lower of the offered price and then attempt the 70% offer minus the arv after that and go from there.
