In 2025 I plan on purchasing my first home.

Does anyone have any tips/ advice to help make sure my property will appraise for what I planned on based on my rehab?

@Ryan Daniel  I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection in relation to real estate investments.

I’ve developed a Comprehensive Investor Report (CIR) for a property in Palm Coast, FL, designed to be transformed into a luxury rental asset while serving as the foundation for a scalable asset management strategy.Here’s a quick snapshot of the deal:Property: Red Birch Lane, Palm Coast, FLCurrent Value: $350,000+Mortgage Balance: $165,000Current Equity: $185,000Investment Required: $177,500 (for luxury upgrades and optimization)Projected Monthly Rent: $4,500 with 2% annual increasesTarget ROI: Full 1.5x ROI for investors achieved in 9 yearsLuxury Features: Smart home automation, designer finishes, professional-grade kitchen appliances, and more.I’ve also structured a capital distribution plan with a waterfall approach:8% Preferred Return for investors.Full Return of Capital to investors before profit splits.Post-ROI, a 20/80 split (Investor/Management) ensures long-term alignment.

How have they accounted for reserves / contingency when things don't go as planned. 

The plan was to have the properties completed in 6 months make some money and be on our way to real estate riches.Turns out a lot of the framing was rotten and we had to completely reframe the back of one of the houses.

Hey Helena, I know we've already chatted but you should check out this BP thread about us:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1184140-plan...

Hello, due to a hiccup on my personal credit history I am having issues getting approved for traditional financing outside of an FHA which I do not plan to use as I am not going to owner occupy.

It also features a minisplit HVAC system and PVC exterior covering.We plan to market it as a vacation rental, given its potential appeal to eco-conscious travelers and those looking for a distinctive getaway experience.I’m reaching out to see if anyone has experience with selling or financing geodesic domes.

I have one property at the moment, but plan to expand my portfolio.
