If your property is the only one without a driveway, then yes, it may lower your ARV.One of the properties I own has a neighboring property that is the only property in the area without a backyard and without a driveway, and it is fairly lower than all the neighboring properties, although it is nearly identical in structure.

To be more specific about what i'm looking to do: My 1-2 year goal is to employ the BRRRR strategy with SFHs and Condos by buying distressed / highly undervalued properties that need work (preferably all-cash) in low crime areas with strong rental demand, renovate them within budget (again preferably all-cash) and get them rent ready before refinancing them at the highest ARV possible.

If you don’t know the legal notice requirements for your market make sure you figure all that out before you do anything. 

The biggest challenge seems to be finding lenders that offer these loan products which is where I’m looking for help from the community with recommended lenders that serve Texas.The Fannie Mae (or Freddie Mac) options are preferred over FHA purely because of the (perhaps perceived) limit on renovation funds that the FHA option provides.
