Zillow or your agent's MLS portal will never have all of the photos you need to make a fully informed offer.

There are NO institutional investors that will jump on this kind of deal, but you can maybe find a private lender or do a Joint Venture (equity split?).

We don't need to "make homes cheaper", we just gotta remove the barriers and special interests that support monopolies, limited competition, centralization, corporate over private, and take things back to middle America, small business, main street over wall street. 

I got started with private money back in 2009 and those were scary times.

Quote from @Jamie Parker:I got a photo with Tom Cummings, Prolly the only real value I gained with 7-8k invested in education that year.

Set up a clear scope of work and schedule regular video check-ins with photo updates.

Typically they are not eligible for traditional financing which implies other funding sources (HML, private Monet, self funded, etc).  

If all of the comparable properties don't have basement photos, they are probably the same or worse.

Do they have the necessary resources to stay on top of all the tax issues such as 1031 exchanges, 754 Step-Ups, etc.Feel free to send me a private message if you have any questions here.A couple articles you can read that will be helpful:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1206189-cost-...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1204912-how-t...

Good to see public and private on projects like this.
