Hey John, thanks so much for the insight! 

However, this home is located in a market that has enjoyed significant appreciation over the last 20 years and has seen significant investment in recent years to provide strong additional appreciation potential in the future. 

If they do handle an unrepresented buyer, no other agent involved, the listing agent will likely have the extra charge in their listing agreement already to cover the additional work and risk.

If its a total gut, that changes things...but if it's bought right...Rehabbing will likely be your best bet. new builds set the price premium in every zip code I've ever studied. in addition new builds don't take 9 months. we just built a house in 60 days. we wait till permits are approved and shovel ready, investors buy land cash, entitle, contracts, negotiate with financing, place financing when we are ready and break ground. but we build the same over and over and don't go outside our Floorplans  

I can provide additional advice once you have answers to the above.

In Memphis, there were distinct differences depending on the area, and I'm curious to hear your insights on how Nashville compares.

Appreciate the insight. 

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Additionally, Wilkes-Barre Property Management is well-reviewed and known for their professionalism and expertise in the local market.

In addition I have purchases post 2018 that I was less confident of the appreciation.
