I'd have to get material lists from each sub, have many of the lower bids eliminated because of that, then review the list, then push it over to you, then when their estimate is short go back to you, go back to them with your push-back, then figure out who will pay to finish the work.

4) MLS Cash Sales: You can also have an agent pull all cash transactions where no mortgage was recorded.

The military moved up my orders by 9 months and the other homes in the area sold in the past year for much lower than my home.

Pros are your interest rates are lower than a commercial mortgage, there are more people that can buy it on the back end and your down payment will be slightly less.

You would need to take a property run down in an A area and inject it with rehab to buy at a lower price or maybe build new from the ground up.

Obviously the price point is dramatically lower than custom ordering to spec but if it's junk I'd rather not be burdened with replacing it again in the near future.Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Does your company handle online rent transaction tenants can make direct to the owner/property managers? 

I've seen other appraisals where a short sale was used as a comp, and it was indicated that it was a short sale, not an arms length transaction.  

I know some of the mediocre craigslist photography was a big turn off for me while I was looking for places to rent, so if you're looking to step your photography game up in between tenants in the Florida Keys (prefer upper and middle keys at the moment, but could be willing to travel to the lower keys for the right opportunity), shoot me a message on here.I would also be willing to help with light cleaning if necessary in between tenants.
