Hi Aya,The value of the home will remain consistent with all other comparable homes completed in an appraisal. 

This team consists of an Investor Focused Agent, Lender, Contractor, and PM.Read this article on the "core 4".

This is how the same area shows in 3 different flood map systems:This is for a suburb of San Antonio, not a coastal region.The first is the one used now by Zillow and Realtor, feeding from First Street - the house and whole neighborhood is not marked currently in a flood zone, but it's deemed a MAJOR risk with 30% chance of flooding in the next 30 years.The second one is from SARA, and has some portion of the neighborhood in flood plain.The third one is from FEMA and it shows some portions in 100y floodplain, and the whole neighborhood in a 500y floodplain. 

With Section 8 you'll get the rent consistently and they stay longer than the cash payers.

Let me know any feed back you have.

For me, I tell clients as long as you are within a 30 minute drive of either Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg you'll likely see more consistent success.

Consistent follow-ups can make a huge difference.

I have bought over 15 million and sold over 50 million of real estate in the Cleveland and Columbus, OH markets in the last 3 years and the vast majority comes from 1 - cold calling targeted areas consistently with good data2 - networking with agents, wholesalers and those who are consistently doing deals.

Why do I have to wait if I am only doing a rate and term refinancing.You typically need to wait six months before refinancing an investment property, even for a rate and term refinance, because lenders want to see a consistent payment history and assess the property's value over time.

Its great you have the construction experience to back you up but good luck on depending on this to consistently provide.
