Thanks for being an awesome community so far!

I’m trying to buy 2 family house that is Currently a old day care center and the CofO is listed as Community Facility so the process to change back over here in new york could taKE up to 6 months to year plus Architect is giving me a Estimate of 100k.

Wholesalers, no offense to that community on BP, is rife with misinformation. 

It is really motivating and inspiring to be apart of such a great community and I am looking forward to getting to know many of you in the coming months. :)Kind Regards, Arian Motalebi 

Great to have you in the community. 

Joe I see this as highly regional.. when we were flipping in Dallas almost all appraisals came in low and we had to negotiate.. it was frustrating and since the homes were FHA buyers they no had any more money to make up the delta.. and with the uber high tax's there you just have to let them go and make less or break even on the flip.. we just were not efficient enough to compete there.In Oregon and Charleston were we do true NEW construction for retail in the 450 to 2 million price points.. we have not had one appraisal come in low.. they come in at our sales number.. and this last community we built.. the exact same house we built the year before on the same size lots we sold for 75k more.. and they still appraised.. that's good appraisers keeping up with rising markets.. in Texas it was not that way the appraiser were not tracking the rising market like they should have.For the average homeowner to use this strategy could lead to some frustration of making offers paying for inspections and appraisals and then trying to negotiate down only to have a sale fail and be out 1k or more and the time involved..

@Jay Hinrichs At last my chance to add value to the community!
