I am not sure if there is any more accurate to do it.Propane I guess you weigh it.

Keep accurate records.

Ann, A partnership is a partnership is a partnership.A big reason: Any receipt that has the partner's name on it would be reported and disallowed on his personal return if audited.Yet another reason: This would not accurately represent their situation.

As I said, the description of the process by J Scott was completely accurate, but I would be glad to elaborate further if you are interested.

Probably about as accurate as Zillow since they likely get their info from the same unreliable source.I also like Cyberhomes.com because they have a map that will display property values, and other data, as a color gradient.

Don't rely just on the internet for accurate numbers.

When can the 2% rule be applied and with what properties will it be accurate with?

Off the top of my head we look at the roof condition, windows, exterior condition (rotting wood, broken siding, cracks in brick, etc), gutters and downspouts, yard and landscaping, general curb appeal / potential, grading, light fixtures, trim, doors, driveways, sidewalks, etc.4)We have flipped houses with foundation issues, mold damage, electric overhauls, etc, so it is not what you need to avoid per say, but being able to put a price-tag on issues and accurately estimate rehab costs and value after the repairs are completed.

The first rehab I did took me about 5 months to accurately estimate

(Don't rely on the "Zestimate" they are not accurate.)You need to know if it is or not in an hoa of any kind, and if it is, what that means.You want to know about the neighborhood.
