Mostly house flipping community, but will be  relevant to others.

To live in maybe, but not for investment/rental property.

I am planning on using it to buy multiple properties in AL, TX or OH and wanting to use the BRRRR strategy on these homes.  

The appraised value seems low and I am trying to understand the best strategy to challenge this value and the cost / benefit of going through the condemnation process. 

Yes, when bad things happen its a great time to be look at how you planned and prepped to be able to handle those things and feel GOOD that you were able to manage things such that they are turning out BETTER than you planned for on average.

I'm looking to possibly flip or use the BRRR method to build a portfolio. 

You can’t deduct the full cost in the year you make the improvement, but you would depreciate it over the useful life of the improvement (usually over a period specific to the type of asset, like 5, 7, or 15 years, or over 27.5 years for residential property improvements).

I know it's not easy, but the problem isn't going to go away just because you've worried about it a lot.

I was thinking to increase rent by 200 over the course of 3 months to get to fair market price.
