But if your property has a high-end kitchen and the other one doesn't, an appraiser might add $10k back and value yours at $110k.You might try to get your hands on a few appraisals to learn how appraisers value a property and add/subtract value based on features, square footage, and fixtures/finish.While I'm sure this varies wildly, I've found that some realtors rely too heavily on automated comps or CMAs when valuing properties, and these can be off by a wide margin.

If you want to talk to me, you will have to meet me at Q-cup

Wouldn't mind a grabbing a cup some time.

Not really my cup of tea to go that far.

Together (for both houses), the total rehabbing would be 23,000. this includes roofing, painting, pressure washing, electrical, floors, bathroom re-vamps, landscaping, ceiling work, doors, fixtures. the 9!

New roofs, windows, doors and and trim accompanied by brand new cabinets, granite, appliances, flooring and fixtures!

With that, if you know of any investors in the area who would like a free cup of Starbucks coffee and to have their ear pulled about RGV investing, I'd happily comply.Thanks,Serafin

I was worried that if we did do a partnership that he would always be wanting to buy the nicer fixtures for our rental houses meant for college students.Then he changed.The tenants he put in the house started paying rent late, at first a couple of days.

Just not my cup of tea.

As an experience importer I am also beginning to look at importing raw materials such as finishing fixtures, cabinets, tile, etc.
