Is there "soft appraisal"?
Is it possible to contact appraisal people (or someone else; no idea who) and ask for a "soft appraisal" based on images and current known conditions, but without them going to the property?
By "soft appraisal," I mean to get an estimate of how much the house is worth/would appraise if I'd do XYZ to it.
Basically, I'm looking to get an experienced view (as I'm a new out-of-state investor) to know what the house could be worth.
I'm looking to invest in TX, and I don't know the area that well. I can look at Zillow or any other websites, but I don't know how much the information is worthy from an appraisal point of view. So the way that I see it is that I prefer to pay someone $200-$500 to validate my price hypothesis.
* I'm not asking for a specific person, as I know this is not allowed by the forum's rules. But I only ask to know if such a thing exists
