Many investors hesitate to start their next fix-and-flip project due to barriers like limited funding, uncertainty in market conditions, lack of experience in estimating renovation costs, or fear of unexpected delays and expenses.

It's always best to handle mold issues quickly and completely before the tenant gets the chance to claim you're killing them. 

If so, there may still be a chance to include them in the appraisal report.• Sales Recency: Did any of the comparable sales close more than three months ago?

I have the chance to do this right with an investment mindset.

Chances are you may show a negative cash flow which is throwing you off.

Much more negative when including realistic expense estimates (maintenance/cap ex, vacancy, PM, misc).  

If you have more passive losses than your gain is estimated to be, you would have net taxable loss to recognize.If you want to sell and not pay tax, I would definitely look into 1031 exchange.

If there are damages, chances are you will never see the money to fix them. 

I'm originally from Western PA as well (Slippery Rock) and now reside in Atlanta.Here is how I am looking at it along with the assumptions I am making:1) I think the growth prospects are better in the Atlanta market than Pittsburgh from a pure demographics standpoint.2) I estimate your return on equity at 7.2% currently3) Over the long haul appreciation is going to take you further when it comes to net worth than cashflow will4) Doubling of the roofs is doubling the expensesThings to consider:1) What is the year built of your Atlanta property vs. what you could replace it with in PGH?

All I can say is I’ve seen it time and time again, accuracy in your estimates, detail in your work, and anticipating future costs/market changes and building contingencies in your budgets may cost you some deals but will save your investments.
