The property is in a solid area where Neighborhood Scout puts it at the highest rating for appreciation, predicting 40% appreciation over the next 3 years, and we'd look to refi or do a HELOC in 3-5 years to realize that gain, and I'd probably buy them out with my portion at that time.

Have you been more or less successful than you predicted?

Tucson's been growing steadily and predictable for years.

Nothing wrong with this approach but what you want is a measurable, predictable number of potential deals flowing your way so I wouldn't recommend relying solely on the passive deal search.You may have access to information to help you prospect for these deals on your own.

Basically the same amount of work for them.I don't think anyone really accurately can predict your appreciation or tell you this or that area or property type is going to appreciate more than another. 

This California law eliminates much of the red tape by bypassing environmental reviews and subjective local approvals, creating a faster and more predictable development process.

yes, that's what everyone wants =) appreciation is tough to predict."

My question is when it comes to analyzing properties that are below market value how can you predict what the market value will be after the rehab?

No one can predict the future but generally speaking you are probably fine over the long run.Did your Realtor not mention the proximity to the freeway?

I have had my eye on 5-20 unit multifamily for a while, as I see it much more controllable and predictable way to go about a real estate deal.
