Vacation homes always go for more, because its temp for the guests.

Hi Everyone, I am currently in Tempe Arizona working as a Real estate private equity fund accountant.

Tempe is a great market, and I hope you get your deal.

People can manipulate photos, but they cannot manipulate a live video call.Also, hiring an independent 3rd party to check on things, verify completion, etc., prior to paying a contractor - can be another good alternative, and shouldn't cost much.

I just had an appraisal and it is clear they just manipulate numbers to arrive at their pre-determined value.

I would def. use either a spreadsheet or google sheet where you can leave comments and or colorcode the sheet to give an indication of the status and temp of the lead.

We also get most of our bookings through Airbnb, Furnished Finder, and temp housing agencies.

The beauty of commercial real estate is that it is very easy to manipulate the value of a building by simply managing a property efficiently.

They have individual temp control/thermostat too.

I personally always steer the conversation more towards IRR and NPV because they are not as easily manipulated.
