its value is different for you compared to an investor and compared to an owner occupant. if your wholesaling than your value is as follows: ARV minus repairs, holding buying/selling costs & contingency, that total minus what you want to make as a wholeseller = purchase price/value of the homean investor may see the property in the same fashion just without the wholeseller portion so an investor is able to put a higher purchase price/value on it. an owner occupant doesnt see holding, buying/selling costs as an expense. they only see repairs costs as an expense normally so they would put a purchase price/value of the home even higher than a whole seller and an investor would. so the traditional mindset of a set value doesn't apply to real estate investing. that is more for the end buyer/user.

I am working on finding Private Lenders that will loan in a non-recourse fashion  at rates under 6-8% and up to 75% LTV.

As has been said, you can literally clean contaminated surfaces with bleach.But the bigger problem here @Karen Margrave  is that there's a petition to ban people from traveling to the US from countries that are experiencing an incredibly traumatizing and fatal disease outbreak. 

For the main living areas you want to put a solid surface, commercial grad laminate (will run more upfront, but will last through multiple tenants) or if there is hardwood floors there refinish them.  

My thinking is that carpet is basically the cheapest flooring you can put in, if someone wants 'nicer carpet' I tend to push them in the direction of a solid surface.

The REIT I worked for was founded in similar fashion.

In fact, the best promoters will probably have deals that look different than the "industry" when much of the industry is fashioning themselves as glorified hard money lenders.  

Carpet needs to be replaced with every new tenant, while a more solid surface will at least last a few more years.

May just be me, and fact I am in #1 lawsuite state, but for me when it comes to the LLC vs Corp. questions and twists, I always look #1 at liability, and then at taxation savings.I had a large company, organized as a c-corp, and yes it was a hassle, and yes taxes where hell on the surface, although i hired a good CPA who I could barely understand his strategies, I just followed them and saved.

Monique I just scratched the surface, We've had a 10% drop in values in something like the last 3 months an article just said recently, on top of the previous 18 months.
