You will eventually meet someone in your area that you click with that will help guide you. 

Take that number and times it by the sqft of the house you are buying to determine your eventual sale price.

Keep trying, and you’ll succeed eventually. 

I understand location is everything, and will be looking at properties in areas where appreciation values are constantly rising (3% per year).The idea is to rent these out at approximately $1400 per month (each), and eventually sell these properties within three to five years when I'll be able to gain between 9% and 15% profits from each property.

Don't start moving the goalposts (i.e. by inflating the sell price or lowering the reno budget without data to support it; using 80% instead of 65-70% in the equation above to sacrifice your eventual return) in an effort to wedge a square peg through a round hole.Not every property you analyze works, and providing them with a "low" offer isn't taking advantage of them.

Hey @Bryan Beal, I have a MF property in Pompano Beach and am actively looking for a second to live in an eventually vacation rent.
