I'm 27, single, and work full-time as a corporate project manager and merchant/buyer; coordinating and often negotiating between many internal business units and external partners/vendors.

It's always some external fault when the truth is bad stuff happens all the time and people need to be prepared for it.

Some of this is called external obsolescence or external valuation such as a lot on a lake shore or in an exclusive area, these values can be identified in the market by comps. 

If you work with a mailing list the number will be in the thousands, if you handpick properties its probably in the hundreds.

My advice is to go with your plan by hiring an estimator, list down your scope room by room, internal and external, to double scope security reproduce the result from xactimate, and give them to your contractor.

- It seems to be the average price in this area keep inclining with all external factors.

General Building Maintenance average $4k with a high of $5k 3 years ago.Based on these, I have estimated the expenses I would need for immediate needs (3-12 months) to stabilize and bring the lease to 100%.General Building Maintenance (External). $8-10kCommon Area Maintenance: Landscaping around property. 

The lender has already put out money for the foreclosure process and if it has gone to the point of already being advertised it means they have done the math and have selected that particular asset for foreclosure.Lenders are hand-picking which homes they foreclose on, and since they chose that one they feel it will bring enough through foreclosure to upset their losses.  

And we're usually trying to remove all the externally run conduit - not add more.I've found the aesthetic benefits to usually be a bigger driver than the practical ones - renovating an old house that has a big tank in the middle of the kitchen has more possibilities if you install a tankless instead.I don't really know about the impact on sales price.

From that point forward I make it my aim to some how evict and replace with my own hand picked tenant.I do not appreciate tenants that test me and I make sure they only do it once.
