I would hate seeing hipsters buying up properties out of no where and the identity of my hood quickly disappearing. 

Unless you are a famous celebrity who has paparazzi around you, not sure why people spend all this extra money on trying to hide their identity Starting in 2024 and 2025 LLC’s with the corporate transparency act most of this goes away anyways.

My appraiser ignored a sale in an identical size and shape unit in my building that was $50K higher than his appraisal.

If you can find an identical furnace, it would be easy enough to swap it out. 

Now, under 366 days is short-term capital gains, which is taxed at marginal rates like ordinary income, so the rate is identical. 

Please comment below if I’m on the right track or if there is some advice you can give me or if I misunderstand something.fyi- I do have some money to invest into this wholesaling business which is why the beginning steps are as follows.step 1 - Start a official wholesaling company with a LLCStep 2 -Build a wholesaling brand/logo/identity with a website as well as business cards for networking/meetups/buyers listStep 3 - Driving for dollars/direct mail marketing following up every week for 5-7 per property I’m interested in.

I do know both sites always shows “identity verified “ after booking.

The positive side of being around many identical units (both complexes that we're in have 3 or 4 floorplans) is comparable sales and comparable rents are easy to find.

For for example, I've seen a nearby apartment unit(s) that looks identical (Same amount of units & similar sqft) to the one I'm looking at sold for $280K to $500K within an 18 months time period.Is it because your dealing with another caliper of buyers who have "bigger pockets"?

The interesting data on direct mail marketing for "Motivated Sellers", when tested through studies found that the % of motivated seller response in these so called "targeted" lists, was nearly identical to the % also caught using blind mass marketing mailers.
