How is value determined for a construction project and for forced appreciation - is it something I can build a spreadsheet for eg calculating cap rate or is it something that can only be done by professional appraisers?

eg cap rate = NOI/build costDoes the bank use a general cap rate for that area and building type?

I usually advise them on what to look for as far as property type and features that will sell better, and the areas and neighborhoods to focus on.Tampa seems to be similar, but the rates don't look like the peak rates we are seeing. 

Are you running the ARV based on comps as a 4 unit OR are you determining the ARV based off of future NOI (operating income) and cap rate?

Focusing on a lot that backs up to a freshwater canal might be a nice additional feature.

Drop your links below and let me know what you feel is a must have, as far as features, and what's not needed.

I would agree it could be better and I don't think it's a huge cost to add features.

The size, layout, interior, make it smart, and other features will be according to what you are the buyer desire.When it comes to renovating a property then you are somewhat limited to the fineness of the structure that already exist.

No point in analyzing a deal if the subdivison has a cap limit on the number of rentals allowed.
