Investors can use these differences about property class types to consider how each property fits within their strategy of investing, such as return objectives and amount of risk they are willing to accept in order to achieve those returns.Each property classification reflects a different risk and return because the properties are graded according to a combination of geographical and physical characteristics.

And pivot geographic locations...or asset classes. 

Welcome @Staci Hill-  I’m with eXp Realty which is a great fit as an investor who likes to work independently and work across multiple geographic areas.  

Your post reads like a highlight description for a new listing.

The geographic area that you mentioned is huge, especially when you consider the outlying areas.

Also Becca one thing that I found very interesting in Bay Area is I found the house layout and geographical location is more important than the location is.

Full details on the project are available including project description & costs, 3-year income/expense spreadsheet & photos. 

Hey Chris,I have an example Scope of Work document uploaded to my fileplace which has a list of common Scope of Work items and descriptions to get bids from your Contractors, which might be helpful.https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertson/file/sample-contractors-scope-of-work-documents

Based on your description I'd suggest starting by reading the book: Who Not How https://a.co/d/eLZv7lFI think we all start off more DIY and getting our hands dirty.

The appraiser may need you to provide information such as purchase price, survey details, improvements made, legal description, etc.
