So far I have boosted curb appeal by power washing the exterior, painting the shutters, removing some old rotting fences and dead trees and bushes.

If you have already boosted the value of these properties through your renovation efforts it might make sense to sell one.

@Katherine Earle we buy and hold SFs in the suburbs for our own portfolio, but the cool thing about working as an agent is that I get to see all sorts of deals - and how they pan out - even deals I would never pursue myself; all the way from commercial deals to city owned properties.On the positive: helping to improve a neighborhood or a street feels good and gives us investors a higher sense of purpose - nothing like neighbors thanking you for turning that ugly eye sore into a valued piece with soem curb appeal.

We added a large platform deck off the back of the home, light landscaping for curb appeael and fenced in back yard for privacy.

The development projects of 16 Tech and Riverside Regional Park should help boost property values over the next 5-10 years.

The one that adds up is sidewalk/curbs.

I’m looking to pull 60-70% of the equity to purchase more properties to rent out and boost my income.

The appraiser should have gone outside the time range of 9 months if needed to determine market value.My lender filed an appeal for the appraiser to quantify certain adjustments (lack of condition/curb appeal, lack of adjustments for bedrooms/bathrooms, lack of adjustments for other desirable features in my market such as porch + deck + Single-Family Detached Home (used twins/townhouses as comps with no adjustment).

Google how to boost your credit.

I would make sure that the exit cap rate is not lower than the purchasing cap rate as this can artificially boost the projected returns.
