Adding stucco or any other improvement like kitchen or bathroom, etc does not increase value in a direct sense.

This example is not a good investment IMO because it does not provide good rental income nor does it provide very good prospects of above averager appreciation given the price structure I see.

Two units are in good shape, one could use some bathroom and kitchen updates but not necessary.

I suggest you structure it as a rent amount and an option under two seperate agreements.

I believe fairness in structuring these deals is very important so as not to be preditory by the seller.

This has basically arisen out of another thread.I'd like to know who is doing N/P housing, what is the niche filled by the service and how are you structured.....tell all you can.Anyone interested, jump in!

All that said, you can certainly play with the structure a bit to attract investors.

The entire point of the acronym involves an individual using programming techniques and content placement to structure the semantic "flow" of your web site's data.

Jason lots of fraud and criminals out there trying to make a quick buck.You could be sucked in and chosen "guilty by association" in the deal.We have a saying in the business.This deal has "too much hair on it" and you need to walk away.Many of these techniques with short sales squeaked by 3 or 4 years ago before bank guidelines were in place.Now with systems you cannot get away with anything if you wanted to.Before there were shades of grey that were closed out.I would see buyers write up a bill of sale and pay the seller 4,000 for JUNK for personal property.At the time certain things didn't have to be disclosed.Short sales made up only about 1 percent of loans when the market just started turning.So anyone looking at short sale techniques make sure they work TODAY and not from years ago.You will pay dearly for using old techniques that can get you in trouble that are not allowed today.You have to adapt and structure deals to stay in compliance with the ever changing laws.
