I can't speak for other rehabbers, but I like to ensure that my properties are a little nicer (and have some appraisal-enhancing features) versus the other properties in the area.On the rare occasions I'll get an opinion of value, the goal is to determine not what the after-repair value is, but to determine what I should be doing to the property to get the most bang for my buck in terms of resale and appraisal value.I'll sit down with my appraiser, and he'll tell me what the property is worth if I do a typical renovation to match the neighborhood, and then he'll make recommendations on what I can do to increase the resale value and the appraisal value at retail, as I don't want the resale value to be limited by the appraised value.My appraiser is more of an adviser on what upgrades I should do, in addition to just giving me his opinion of value for different levels of rehab.If you want to help investors, that's what you should strive to do...not just do a standard BPO that may or may not reflect what the property will look like and that doesn't help the investor determine what renovations should and should not be undertaken.You can value the home in good condition and compare it with like comparables from around the area.

Samuel Ksiazkieicz A little help understanding this land trust strategy
23 November 2012 | 3 replies
The answer is “Yes”...so long as income tax benefits are not altered or enhanced in the process.4 As we’ve discussed in other chapters, federal lending regulations fully authorize the creation of inter vivos trusts of all types, requiring only that the borrower creating such a trust remain “A” beneficiary (a very important indefinite article, that “a”).

This is critical, with regard to the 30 days that the bureaus are allowed to investigate the dispute.Second, by using template letters, you vastly enhance the likelihood of triggering a "frivolous or irrelevant" response from the credit bureaus.
Rob K. Trying to understand "wholesaling"
30 March 2013 | 68 replies
While you may add value to another buyer, you're not enhancing the market value of the improvements.It won't rent for more because a strawman did the deal, it won't sell for more after rehab because a strawman did the deal and it won't appraise higher because it was flipped.
