I hired a public adjuster immediately.

I feel I need to use the other two for current listings so I can get a feel on finish level differences to adjust accordingly.

If you go that route, make sure to adjust your holding costs as it will likely take you longer to do those tasks than a contractor.

I had to pull off the road at least 8 times to stretch and adjust my braces.

I do deals this way all the time.That being said if you have already offered the equity position and are looking to change the structure perhaps you should adjust equity on a Pari Passu basis.

When evaluating a property for rehab, assume it's going to need a new septic system until you learn otherwise, and adjust your offer accordingly.

After all I do want this to work out for everyone and if it's just a simple date adjustment I'm all for.Thanks forv sharing.

There are a couple factors at play and you need to understand them in order to make the adjustment.

If comps are located in other markets I will use value adjustments/explanation to verify distance expanded or justify outliers in specs. 

There are higher interest rates and adjustable rates.Look up some local banks and ask what they offer.
