Dm me if your interested in what I can do for you as your boots on the ground Realtor in the Memphis area and/or if you need a direct contact at Foundation Title & Escrow.

So far, we have received this advise from appraisers in the Maple Heights area: 1) Attach all offers so the next appraiser can better understand the market value, 2) Provide a letter from the Maple Heights Building Department discussing the addition of the egress window making the bedroom conforming livable space, 3) provide comps for similar properties sold in the Maple Heights area (these do not have egress windows), and 4) create an itemized list of improvements and cost for renovations to the property.We are grateful to the Bigger Pockets community for their advice as well. 

Quote from @Algerson Andre: Hello Everyone - I own property in Buffalo,NY that sits on a big lot that has the potential to serve as ground for a New construction duplex to be built.

Innovators today brag of being agent's of corporate goliath's with action plans to break new ground to "sell-out" to ___ giant.

As a general rule of thumb if the property has a ground level commercial requirement in order to show sufficient hardship to seek a residential use change the property should be located in a location that is not conducive to commercial use i.e residential street, close but not as marketable as properties located on neighborhood's primary commercial corridor etc. 

Down payment, closing costs, boosting credit score, etc. 2) Find rockstar team members that will be your boots on the ground to help you find a great property to invest in.3) If you're considering your house hack ROI.

I had my service upgraded and moved, new panels, grounding, and meter cans for $7K.

That property has tenants which would cover the monthly payments at its current rent which is well below market value but the property would need love to justify an increase in rent.Very grateful to have made this much progress in the span of less than a year and a half and currently just trying to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row to ensure I can build these three properties into a stable few investments.Looking forward to the future,Austin

Outside of real estate, I enjoy bodybuilding, working on cars, and anything that keeps me physically active outdoors, which helps me remain grounded and focused.I'm looking forward to networking, exchanging ideas, and building lasting relationships in this community.

There's nothing wrong with renting for a year, getting your shoes on the ground, and learning more about the market.
