How have you circumvented this, and what will you plan on doing in the future if assignments are still your chosen method?

(Though it's not the most heat reflective) I like Brown (from the mockup) architectural shingles.But throwing a few shingles of the chosen color up there before committing might be a good idea.In the mockup I put some trim around the windows and doors.Maybe toss some Pink Panther Insulation in the attic, add a roof vent or two, and make sure all of the windows and doors are sealed tight.And if you want Home Depot sells Rain Diverters, an L shaped aluminum strip to go on the roof above doors and AC Units.

Very disappointed as the bank's chosen appraiser pulled 2 comps from a different county (worse as far as school systems, property value) etc.

Often times, investor profitability hinges on the expertise and efficiency of the General Contractor (GC) chosen to lead the project.

There is no way i would have chosen to pay impact fees for 46'. 

First congrats on your chosen path of getting your RE license, that is not a simple task.

Why have I chosen these particular properties? 

I will need to get in touch with an Attorney and Lender ( SBA lender that my Partner has chosen ) to make sure its feasible for me to become a 18% partner because of the SBA restriction.we have a property identified in a well established business park ( has most utilities setup already ) that is zoned correct. already put in an offer and into the due diligence period which ends Jan 31. 

You can't claim it didnt appraise - because it did - and the ARV could be negatively impacted by a whole host of things like possibly it being over-improved for the market.Should you had chosen to back out of the contract due to valuation, you would have had to provide a copy of the appraisal report to the seller and the seller's agent - and it would have been obvious that it had appraised at value (or contract price). 

I really want people to be able to do 10 year projections and understand the FUTURE CASH FLOWs, not just today's cash flows.It just makes you incredibly rich when you have all the information and have chosen the right area.But I do want to tell a little story when I was teaching back in 2006.Back then I taught my own classes in various private studios for classes.I taught in one studio while there were a lot of other RE related classes going on.The Math was difficult, so I never drew a crowd.However, the Cash Flow Now classes were Bigley popular.There was one that not only taught the Cash Flow now, but then chartered buses to take you to the best cash flow places.One of MY students decided to leave my class for theirs.Years later, he came back to me and told me ALL of those students were bused to Detroit and around Michigan, but close by Detroit to find Cash Flowing properties.You can envision the outcome when the Financial Crisis hit and Detroit eventually wound up going bankrupt.All those members of the other class had to do is look at the 3 big Auto Makers and know how bad they were doing to predict their future.
