Also, I have heard that after you have built enough equity, you can refi out of the VA loan into conventional financing and then use your VA benefit again.

You would be entering an estimate for each item. 

In Minneapolis, the Downtown East Commons Park, initially built for Super Bowl LII, has helped attract office buildings and residential developments.

I'm not sure the premium vs the basic version (I only have premium) but for any property, I can itemize the purchase price, current value, tag the associated mortgage, my assumption on appreciation, its rental income, all of its expenses (including taxes, yearly mainteance, capex, insurance, HOA, property management, depreciation and other), its estimated sale timing/and fees. 

They should keep detailed records, including photos of damaged property, repair estimates, and receipts for items like cars and appliances.

I get builders risk policies for all my new builds and at least in the markets I built in Charleston SC  and Portland Oregon have never seen the fence and security and like you I would have trusted my broker to mention something like that.. fence and 24 hour security is just not something you do on ONE SFR rehab.. unless its a known high crime area like South side of chicago and now inner city Portland you really need the fencing etc other wise the homeless and druggies will walk off with everything.. when did a bunch of rehab loans in South Jackson MS same thing theft was off the charts and we had houses burn down .. but the dollars were much smaller.I know I have gotten larger policies for my bigger developments and I did pay my lawyer to go through them line by line and at the end of the day they really cant say what is or is not covered.Also you simply would not think of anything in Colusa county as being high crime .

You’ll often find that people warm up to the idea of selling once they’ve built trust with you.Good luck! 

Personally I would probably just multiple by 0.005 if you're gonna use this as I feel like Zillow always estimates low.But I personally use instant Steadily Insurance estimates inside BrightInvestor - those do vary their estimate by location, unit count, stories, year built, etc.

And its likely built in 1854 and needs to be fully gutted.

I'm currently considering whether to 1031 a couple of rental SFH's I have in the DFW area over to Vegas.Having lived in an owner-occupied house here for 3 years now and looking at my Clark County bill:- The assessed value is only 25% of the current "quick and dirty" market value (Redfin, Z)- There's a line item where property tax rate appears to be 3% of the assessed value- ... however, another line item subtracts a lot from this because of the lag from owner-occupied increase cap percentage of 3% annually (if I'm understanding correctlyAlso, despite changing hands 3 years ago, it's interesting that the assessed value didn't get re-assessed to the purchase price back then.
