I started pulling rent comps from 3 sources instead of one - sometimes there's a decent gap that makes deals work when others walk away with bad data.

In Hayward, Union City, and Newark, values can swing significantly block by block, so verifying your ARV with super tight comps (same bed/bath, similar sqft, within 6 months, same zip or immediate area) is critical before committing.A few things I'd suggest given your numbers:First, stress test that $900k ARV hard.

.🔹 Proven Approach = Data + Strategy Successful investors don’t chase headlines—they move decisively with insight.

Regarding your first block in the flow chart, what data points do you use or find helpful to determine the inflation comparison?

What's been your experience - do you find yourself stuck on analysis or moving too fast without enough data?

At $2000/mo net living cost after the other units cover most of your PITI, you're essentially renting for the same price BUT building equity and locking in your housing costs long-term.A few things to stress-test before pulling the trigger though:Your $5800/mo payment estimate looks right, but make sure you're factoring in a realistic maintenance and cap-ex reserve.

I was in this program, simply for the "boots on the ground" @3k/month in Philly to test out two deals there.

My goal is to create things that are genuinely useful for the community as I learn alongside you.I’m building this journey with my husband, who’s a real estate agent, so we’re combining on-the-ground market knowledge with data and tech.Looking forward to learning from everyone here and connecting with other investors, agents, and builders!

One option is the outbound marketing approach, which can include pulling data, cold calling, texting, door knocking, and several other strategies.I’m happy to speak more about what has worked best for us and what enabled us to build a full-time business in wholesale real estate!
