I am a firm believer that the value of real estate will continue to increase year over year.

Fresh landscaping, new paint, new layout, add a bath, a room, a garage, finish the basement, new roof, kitchen etc are just some ways to add 20,30,40K to the value with sometimes minimal investment.

Conventioanl loan How did you add value to the deal?

We felt this added value to our property, so would have done it for free, but we did not turn down the small payment.Yes, you will probably want a lawyer to help to ensure this action does not create an issue later. 

I'd have interest in facilitating these types of deals and paying you that fee that's nothing for the value you are bringing if you really are. that's about 2 points on a hard money loan which isn't a lot, if you are flexible on payment structures we'd pay you out of construction draw proceeds each time we receive money we pay a portion of your commission back

I would say if you do post it be as detailed as possible minus borrower info re: what's the collateral exactly (estimated value, condition, etc), outstanding balance, state where it's held, terms, performing or non, 1st or 2nd position, payment amount and what you're asking price wise.

I have looked on the Cence.gov website and had a lot of trouble trying to find a chart or values.

The investor must consider whether the potential property value increase or other benefits outweigh this loss.

The purchase transaction would have to be bought fully cash in order to use new appraised value without having to wait with a seasoning period. 

The $34,000 renovation budget presented a clear opportunity to add value.
