Hey everyone, I just finished developing a detailed guide on how to read and dispute appraisal reports effectively, and honestly, I’m amazed at how often small errors can significantly undervalue a property.

It’s inexpensive to provide but can make a big impact.Comfortable Bedding: Investing in high-quality mattresses, pillows, and linens improves the guest experience and leads to better reviews, which can boost occupancy rates.Smart TV or Streaming Services: Offering Netflix, Hulu, or similar services is a low-cost way to enhance guest entertainment and stay competitive.Fully Stocked Kitchen: A well-equipped kitchen with basic appliances and utensils appeals to families and long-term guests, saving them money on dining out.Dedicated Workspace: If your property caters to remote workers, adding a small desk and ergonomic chair can set your listing apart.Outdoor Spaces: If your property allows, an outdoor seating area, fire pit, or hot tub can significantly increase your nightly rate and attract more bookings.Energy-Efficient Features: Guests appreciate eco-friendly options like LED lighting, smart thermostats, or solar panels, especially in eco-conscious markets.Keyless Entry: A smart lock is a relatively small investment but offers convenience and security, which many guests value.If you’re deciding on amenities to add, it’s always a good idea to research your local market.

Now where is that EXTRA dollar?

If you close with a conventional loan, it will need to be in your personal name.

A small mountain city.

Soon you will be able to take care of some of these issues yourself and save a few dollars.  

Are they really willing to sell and walk away with zero dollars up front?

How much will be the interest rate, and terms of the loan. 

It’s a small single-family home in Florida that I plan to BRRRR.

I've been in the lending industry for 5+ years now both as a loan officer and a broker and a processor, have also done some UW.Over the years, I have seen how lenders and brokers spend marketing dollars.
