How did you add value to the deal?

With the ready availability of internet based information, the number of sellers who aren’t cognizant of current real estate values of their home and believe it to be worth much less than it is grows smaller each day.  

Hey mate,Thick skin is needed on this forum and in business in general 🤷‍♂️I just posted something similar on another thread and the best advice I can give is spending enough time finding the right people on the ground before looking at the prospect of a market or a deal.Especially when doing BRRR out of state which is a very tough gig IMO.You can find the best market, with the best growth potential, find the best deal with the best cashflow but if your realtor isn't genuine, your property manager is incompetent and your contractor is a cheat.You will loose money.Also, underestimate your income and overestimate your expenses on every deal and business opportunity.If you think it won't happen to you, I can tell you right now that it unfortunately will...I've completed hundreds of flips and rarely come in at budget from a rehab standpoint.So keep that in mind.Appraisers are a joke and easily manipulated.They follow weird data and many want to cap you intentionally (No idea why...) on the ARV.They play it safe and can see how much you paid and what you spent on rehab so they will cap the value and come in under fair value on many appraisals.I stopped dealing with selling to investors looking to finance many moons ago as it wasn't efficient from a business perspective and I'm not in the business of using "in-house" lenders and manipulating appraisals like many others do. 

I have no experience on how to value land or trailers though.It's 295k. 2% earnest money. 

What % of value do you think most property was being bid up to?

However they will cap you at 70-75% loan to value. 

The consider the materials used, etc, but they do use area comps of newly constructed homes as the value.

The after-repair value (ARV) is projected at $428,000, potentially reaching $477,000 if sold individually.Two houses require rehab, while two are rental-ready.

In that 800k-1M price range you may want to consider less cash flow for 1-3 years because in the right areas the rents and value appreciation is kicking in faster. 

I dont know how much value I could provide you with on the Real Estate side of things, but if you had any questions about financing or wanted to know how that side works id be happy to give you some insight!
