If they don't have final selections they are probably upping the allowances by quite a bit.

@Derrick Gordon Just sent you my spreadsheet I use for estimating costs and selection of strategy for the property in question.

Currently we are helping land lease communities with their compliance burdens related to Fair Housing and ADA.I was appointed by the Governor of Illinois to set up and run the Illinois Manufactured Housing Quality Assurance Board, I was selected as the Manufactured Housing Industry Person of the Year(2013), my consulting company was selected as Service Supplier of the Year in 2011 by MHI (our national trade association), I have served three times on the Board of Directors of the Illinois Manufactured Housing Association and also served as Chairman in 2014, and have been the featured speaker over 200 times at industry events.

The reason to be selective with realtors for flips is they can give you a good idea of what the after renovation value will be.

I was recently selected for the SF Earthquake Brace and Bolt program which gives a grant of $3k to bolt and brace the perimeter of the foundation.

Glad we paid the $275 and are now aware of any and all issues and can be strategic / selective on what to address. 

If you don't tell him all the reasons you got a screaming deal, then he must assume it was an arms length open market transaction, which in turn will mean the other home appraises low, which may mean it sells for less, which in turn means one of YOUR comps sold for less, which could impact market value of your home should you go to sell or refinance it.I would be selective about what I would share, and I wouldn't lie, but I'd only share information that will, or could, lead to my property selling or appraising for more.
