Youve got an hour or two with an inspector who is a generalist, not a specialist, to identify problems they can visually see at that moment in time.

I went through the sold properties in the immediate neighborhood, and looked not just at $ and square footage, but, using the photos on Zillow, ballparked the property's visual appeal.

I will post the videos here on BP if you all want me to at least.To make sure we do not make mistakes during the flip, we also use a 3D floorplan designer to visualize the actual end result of the flip.

It can be hard for people to visualize what it looks like completed, but as long as the property is presentable, it is harmless to try.

If the tenant suspects mold, I'll visually inspect and try to confirm.

Regarding calculations, it is far easier for you to play with the calculators above under the "Tools" tab, and the webinars that you should be getting via email include a couple great ones that cover CoC and ROI hardcore with visual learning, better than a back and forth will. 

How is the visual appeal of the property from different streets as you drive by?

The home should be mostly finished so people can visualize what the final product will look like.

The visual messes up my day already :)  Already told my 1031 guy here he may have to sell a couple of his Porsches.

We have used a good portion of our HELOC to buy the house we are in and fix it up (we got a small loan to buy the house and because of COVID they never visually appraised the house and just gave us the HELOC and paid the loan with it).I've been using the stimulus money to pay down on the HELOC and am trying to throw extra cash at it.Total HELOC: $105kCurrently Used: $87kAvailable: $18kIf more stimulus comes through I expect to throw another $6-8k at it.My question is, do I need to pay this completely off before I should borrow against my house to get an investment property?
