You can always change it, but if your only goal is a number of units and you don’t set any other criteria, you’ll never make progress because you have too many optionsAs for Raleigh, I’m not familiar with the market except that I know it’s generally good.

I recently received the property tax bill and a notice of proposed real property assessment for 2021.

If its hoarded garbage or illegal pets, that's just a written warning and then progress from there.

Would postponed contract be sufficient to justify if get tax assessment?  

I will take extra pictures, assess general condition, make videos, run comps - whatever helps them decide.

At that point we will assess and come up with a plan together. 

Third, I would look into the area of this duplex as far as future appreciation, as I am sure you have read: you should never bank on appreciation but since you mentioned your goal is to do long term buy and hold with this property, being in the path of progress or an area that seems to be up and coming would sweeten this deal for me if I was the one buying. 

If anyone has any advice about assessing markets or deals it is greatly appreciated.

Currently have 5 deals in the pipeline as an agent scheduled to close in the next 2-3 weeks, 4 of them are FHA loans and the other is conventional fannie/freddie backed and things are progressing as usual with all of them.
