But imagine the payment slightly increases each time you draw more from the renovation funds

I can't imagine your plumbing bills over trying to find the source of this mysterious odor with disappears when plumbers show up.My question would be how difficult would it be to find a replacement tenant if you were to release him from his lease?

Imagine you have a fish in the ocean that doesn't eat.

@Nathan Gesner - Yeah, and imagine if USPS used that same argument for email addresses when that came out?

I can't imagine maintenance on brand new tiny homes would cost much, especially if you did composting toilets and rerouted any grey water to a garden or something you'd have no plumbing to worry about. 

I look at every single item in the pro forma and imagine that it is complete BS, and see if I can challenge it.

Originally posted by Adrian Stamer:How do I get the appraisers to actually use the income appraisal method and stop doing a market appraisal for my multi familiesIf you're getting an appraisal based on a lender requirement, you have no say -- the lender wants substantiation of the value and they'll determine how to base that value (though for larger multi-family properties, I imagine it will typically be income based).If you're hiring the appraiser for your own purposes, just tell them that you want the value based on income, and they should be happy to include that. 

I’d imagine it does take a ton of patience.

I can't imagine that the current occupant would be happy to talk to me about their property.2) How do you research other liens that may be on the property, besides the tax lien?

Like there are really all of these Rockstar agents out there who have sold 1,000's of deals despite never owning not even 1 piece of real estate lol, it's laughable.I'd imagine if you took all of the Agents who own real estate and all of the Agents who do not own real estate there will be a clear and measurable difference in quality.
