How much value is added to vacant land by just doing the basics of getting it professionally surveyed and getting utilities to the lot? 

The STR has higher expenses than LTR, so this is no where near as much cash flow as getting $15K/month for an LTR but it is significant positive cash flow.I suspect the rent as a LTR will be between $5.5K and $6K per month but we have done a rent survey yet in part because I am anticipating the LTR rent may fall due to the increased supply of LTR units. 

With your Pro membership, you can search for members by location and specific criteria, i.e. private lenders.

I was residential loan officer/mortgage broker from 2000 to 2008 and a Realtor since 1993.  2008 and the next few years were difficult times to be in real estate finance so I jumped to bank owned sales during this time, so I have both perspectives.Both as an LO/mortgage broker and real estate agent I would regularly have banks/lenders ask for a comp-based appraisal and a rental survey on 2-4 units properties; which is Fannie Mae Form 1025/Freddie Mac Form 72. 

I wanted to know what tests, consults, surveys and other due diligence items to run to fully make a better decision on potential properties.So far I know to look for asbestos, lead paint, pests, mold, I would love some input on thisThxPhil

I haven't used many of the features yet but I wanted to get my pro membership before I figured it would go up.

For me the calculators alone made the Pro membership with the cost to save me from making a huge mistake in buying bad deal.

Is it worth it to buy a membership?

I am just wondering if people think in 2019 they will survey all of the flooded houses that they reduced values on in 2018 and increase them back up in one big step.

We're looking for a 5 bed, 3.5 bath home and seeing price drops of around $20k on homes between $425k and $550k.If you're looking for deals, there are plenty of foreclosures available as well if you plan to occupy the property, but I'm not seeing a lot of good "deals" for flipping.I don't know how familiar you are with Boca Raton and Southern Florida, but typically the lower priced properties require club equity membership of up to $70k up front and monthly HOA's can be as high as $800 plus the monthly membership dues of anywhere from $1200 to $2100 per month depending on the club.
