How did you add value to the deal?

Value in Real EstateWe've all been there: that shiny, low-priced property screaming "deal!"

Farm value is around $7,500 today.    

If you can stomach that 7.5% mortgage for 12-18 months, you will be able to refinance to a lower rate, having bought an asset for less than its market value.

(I can just do more tIRA withdrawals to tweek AGI to suit)2.) 5 yr carry forward of excess deductions - (could use to draw down ~$800k tIRA BEFORE RMD or more Roth rolls)Situation: Very desirable but very hard to sell income property (older (1979) small, low value Mobile home,(home = ~1/6th the value of property - Banks don't lend with that ratio) Beautiful acreage, (3) large shops, pond, barns, Very livable cabin (knotty pine!)

While this initial policy allowed me to secure conventional financing, I'm now in the process of planning and executing renovations to enhance the value and appeal of my home, with the goal of switching to a different insurance policy after completing the remodel and being refunded the unused portion of the escrow.
