Thank you everyone in advance for taking the time to read my post and contributing to this forum.

The syncing of our financial accounts and uploading cash receipts makes our contribution super easy.

The fact that you increased the income from $2,225 to $4,041 is great and I would think should contribute to a higher valuation, but that depends on many other factors.* Since you didn't significantly change the condition or quality of the property, any increase in value would be due to either you paying under market value originally, or appreciation due to buyers paying more for similar properties in the area.

Thank you all ahead of time for all your contributions!

Now I am getting JV offers from the investors.in joint venture I also wants to contribute.

If a seller is offering $10k in assistance but the PP is only $189k on conventional a loan with only 3% contribution allowed, what are all the options for the for any of the left over contributions after. paying closings costs ?
