You can appeal your assessment during a certain time of the year, they'll usually send you a letter.

My point is that for on- or off-market offers, FHA is not appealing to the seller. 

I think there is less appeal than the same house on a culdesac, however if the ARV takes into account the street, and the deal still works, clearly I would do it!

It does appear that 2017 will be a good year for inner city investors because were are starting the year with positive momentum rather than the dismal start we had last January.Hopes for 2017 - The unexpectedly strong semi-detached market starts to pull up the townhouse market so my projects look more appealing!  

Think about how the house will come across to the average person—but don't just try to appeal to the average person, either.

If you do buy the house, make sure to appeal the property tax assessment as soon as possible.  

What would be the best way to close on an off market deal that you have under contract, the property needs nothing more than lipstick to give the appeal to yield highest FMV.

There should be one word of caution though, when you go to court to appeal they also have the right to raise your taxes as well, which almost happened to me on a vacation home that I had tried to appeal.

Find a tax consultant and see if you can file an appeal with the municipality to reduce the assessed value.Call your insurance agent and get a quote for hazard insurance plus general liability as a landlord.

We've actually spoken a little bit back when I was looking for an RE photographer but ultimately I went with someone else (sorry!!).
