Meaning it will step in only if you exhaust your primary GL coverage.

I have pretty much exhausted the friendly avenue, so will need to accelerate to the more formal resolution.

The massive email chain of listing automations is exhausting.

Hard money/private loans are considerably less work and labor-intensive than an FHA or VA loan, as well as close much more quickly, so I can see there being a differential in comp between those. 

Do you have experience managing similar BUSINESSES - an operation this size is a BUSINESS as much or more than an investment. 

Of course, this is not an exhaustive list so I'd love to see what else is shared.

AssignmentsIf your spread is significant or you're protecting your position in the deal, a double close makes more sense than an assignment.🗝️ Seller Financing = OptionsSometimes the best deals come from sellers willing to carry the note.

The spread you’re seeing usually comes from different data sources and filters:Rentometer: often includes classifieds/older posts → can read low.Zillow/Redfin: heavily MLS/newer listings → can read high.What I’d do:Pull 8–12 comps within 0.5–1.0 mi, last 90–180 days, same 2/1, and within ~±20% of your SF.Toss out outliers (luxury renos, basement units, anything with utilities included if yours aren’t).Take the median; it’s more stable than an average.Tools: Zillow/Redfin + Apartments.com for recency, rentest.ai to tighten filters and export a clean comp list.
