Next, you will want to do a little leg work to verify that this will increase the appraised value of your property. 1-4 unit properties are evaluated using a residential appraisal and the resulting value is dictated by a comparable sales approach.

I also bought this powder that you could spread around that claimed to kill everything with more than four legs.

The safer and more practical strategy would be to find something that is easier to manage so you can find your legs. 

No sprinklers, high maintenance lawn that unless you higher lawn care company to maintain it will turn to **** real quick, quirky vents and a roof thats on its last leg scream of constant maintenance calls.

@Kenneth Garrett so the only benefit of using a mortgage broker is that they do all the leg work for me on finding a good lending company that can provide me a good mortgage?

You can give yourself a leg up by turning these comps into price per square foot and keeping a record of what those prices are doing in the areas that interest you.

So as I'm learning with my first property, wanted to see what suggestions or experiences that the BP community has when using OPM.I keep hearing Brandon and David on the podcasts that (verbatim) "if you bring the deal and do the leg work, then it's okay that they bring 100% of the financing."

A little leg works and a few sheets of paper but nothing that can’t be done.

I will suggest Herndon as one of the area that might have legs over time.

Those in the RE game think that I'm pulling their leg and have called me a liar and think I'm trying to scam them with this opportunity (it's sad to know that you have access to information like this and no one believes you).
