Usually, appraisers in every niche (e.g. multifamily 20 units or below) are following similar methodologies/trends.

If they arent renovated they will be old or ancient. 

I'm in the Ocala area and am looking for a manufactured house to buy and hold...kinda a start small and work my way up methodology.

People will decide to be wholesalers, rehabbers, house hackers, etc with no comprehension of whether the investment methodology supports their nonexistent goals or current lifestyle.  

Believe it or not, its how the pros do it even to this day.We purchase properties in Colorado all the time using this methodology. 

please don't dredge up ancient threads to respond to?

I'm interested in SFH rentals and would like to see if I understand methodology of working the numbers...

I have met with the owners of premier when they were premier and seen there set up live.. its a HUGE money business.... and all about up sell.the TV personalities are no different than say other celebs that lend their names to products.especially in the wine business.. they don't own the wineries they just lend there name and make a rake on each bottle sold.I suspect El Moussa's make north of 5 million a year lending their name.. and you can see the marketing company makes a bundle.. when I met with premier the guy mentioned in this article he was busy getting ready to go to france for a year as his daughter wanted to study there LOL.These education systems are steeped in MLM roots.. same methodology.. tug at your heartstrings talk about doing it for your family.. how you DESERVE to be wealthy blah blah

So we then  painted the whole joint, repaired the rotted fascias, replaced the ancient AC/heater, new pool pump equipment, new concrete driveway to replace the crumbling asphalt, new landscape, updated bathrooms (resurfaced shower, nice, new cabinets/sinks, but off Craigslist), more new flooring extended throughout the entire house... even some upgraded pool furniture and a nice BBQ outdoor kitchen as we were told we are in a high end area that requires these types of amenities. 

Hoping someone here might have some proven methodology on how to make this all click.
