NOT AN APPRAISER - But usually they look at permanent fixtures (eg swimming pool) as an adjust to the comps used.However, if there is obvious major CapEx needed (eg roof with major holes and obvious moisture invasion issues) sometimes they'll take that into account, but they are NOT physical inspectors and don't know the cost.  

Yes they are both electric but one is like a hair dryer or toaster and other using pressurized a refrigerant and physics.

Congratulations on your first post...Smile.I organized a physical meetup last week and we had great attendance because I saw the need for it.

This is also the perfect situation to talk to your CPA, because doing so will likely save you much more than it costs.For example, depending on your personal situation, this exercise may be a complete waste of time because you are unable to take the additional deductions.  

Plus a lot less time on our end will be spent physically going to look at houses.Are there any meetups/ virtual meetups for the hampton roads area?

The trick with this is, unless you have eyes on him the whole time, there's really no way to know for sure someone is working even if they are physically present in the unit. 

We are currently using a virtual mailbox company with it's physical address located in Fort Collins.

I'm a physical therapist but have been reading the books/listening to the podcasts on REI for rental properties and am now starting to attend the REIA meetings this month.

I'm curious, is anyone doing any physical meetups in the Rochester, MN area?

That way, there's no connection, no formal/visible credits, but if the buyer actually exercises the option, they get credit for the O.C. because of the reduced price.
