I've talked to many experienced investors and appraisers.

My fear is not that these homes won't get offers, but that they will not appraise high enough.

Apparently the buyer's were not able to get an appraisal done in time, so the close date was pushed to June 28.

The value difference should not be significant for a tub/shower vs shower only on an ADU as far as an appraisal goes.

Appraisal must support the purchase price and Rehab amount with an ARV value. 

Once you know how much it will cost to build, what it will likely appraise for and what you'll likely get in rent (apartments.com, rentometer, agent market report), you can really start adjusting the size of the unit within the footprint and sharpen your pencil even further to see if you have a viable project.Some tricks to help people out that are looking at infill opportunities:1.

But it was suggested that I get an appraisal now, and when appraised to hold the money in a line a credit.

Such as;- things that are going to bring up/down my inspection and appraisal value,- prices I should know about prior to having a complete refinance- anything that comes to mind or,- experiences you may have had.Thank you very much, this is my first one and im hoping to go in with as much knowledge as possible, hoping to really get the numbers im looking for this BRRRR to workout.Cheers :)

We typically try and get a 14135 prior to the sale to show borrower is not getting any $ back and have to get an official appraisal done but once we follow the process it’s not to bad
