Do you have any strategies to predict the rehabbed value accurately ahead of time?

From what I gather I would need 2 years tax returns and 2 years credit history.

Hello everyone,I'm pretty new to the real estate investment world and I'm analyzing my first properties, but I have the following questions regarding rehabs and refinance...How do you accurately estimate for closing costs?

There are agents who are trained and knowledgeable as to what makes a great rental home and how to determine accurate market rent rates.

I am having trouble crunching the numbers accurately.

I assure you that is also an accurate description of many first forays into the REI world :)(To be clear, I'm not implying one kind of investment is better than another, I intend to continue investing in Real Estate, stocks, bonds, venture/startups, and other asset classes.)

Yet, I was still told in an email from the broker:Term of Note: 30 yearAmortization: 30 yearInterest Rate: 4.5% (I usually recommend using “Market Rate”)Loan Program: Conventional, 30 Year FixedLoan Origination/Discount Fees (as a % of loan amount): 0 (I usually recommend using “Market Rate”)4.5% seems rather high, given that every online calculator I can find online (granted that they aren't too accurate) quotes me at around 3.9% APR.  

There is a location where like minded investors gather in Lake Forest, California every month that you should check out.

I have been asked to gather the loan info and forward it to the lender.

I want to have access to the mls, I'd be able to search and gather information more accurately and efficiently.
