Either way, you feel you need to repaint the walls.

Quote from @John Warren: @Mordechai Chaimovitz cap rates and NOI are commercial real estate terms, and 1-4 units are not really valued in the same way.

Does anyone know how insurance companies evaluate these properties and whether or not real value can be realized for insurance for renovation? 

However, be cautious—newer “B” properties are sometimes built in “C” neighborhoods, so careful due diligence is required.Monroe: As mentioned earlier, Monroe strikes a balance, making it a versatile option for investors.Trends to WatchTransit-Oriented Development: Areas near light rail expansions are seeing significant value increases.Suburban Growth: The suburbs around Charlotte, including areas like Concord, Huntersville, and Monroe, are experiencing steady growth as people seek more affordable housing outside the city center.When investing in Charlotte, aligning your neighborhood choice with your goals is essential.

Are you buying amazing deals or are they closer to market value?

You could also get a line of credit for about $150k (you should be able to borrow 75% of the value.)The reason I suggest this is…1) you save $40-$60k in selling costs. 2) you have a lower blended interest rate (2/3rds at 3.25% and 1/3rd at 7 or 8% instead of the whole $500k at 7 or 8%) saving you another $1k/mo in interest. 3) you only pay interest on that $150k when you actually use it, not from day 1  Unless you hate this property, or want to buy something you can’t afford without selling, that would be my plan.
