Google and the Wikibuy app both have great price comparison tools.

Or would a roll roof be a large decrease in value?

They are great tools, and much cheaper than bringing in an investor or hard money lenders. 

Yes, those things absolutely will affect the value of any home you purchase.The better question to ask is what is this house worth today, and is it likely to increase, decrease, or stay the same in value? 

I used a 203k loan on my first buy-and-hold/fox-and-flip and here was my experience:It is a great tool if it is one of your only options to get into a value-add property. 

As someone who has done this remotely, I can say she's been invaluable, and is always up to give me her honest opinion, which I can't value enough.

I’ll need ~$400k if they won’t let us close with that 2nd and ~$150k if they will.The park is a 10 cap at 1.75 as is and is a 14 cap at purchase or worth 2.5M at a 10 cap after we sub-meter.There is another 200k in lots we can parcel off and sell, another 720k in value if we add 20 more spots, ~50k in timber, and lot rents can likey go up another $25, adding another $240k.I can likely bring an equity partner in, but because I can get most of my money out so quickly with the seller’s 2nd and all of my money + 250k out after ~1 yr, I’d like to try and solve the short term capital problem.Anyone know of a lender who will let me close with the 2nd in place, or someone who can set me up a ~$350k line of credit or perhaps some transactional funding? 

Also, some marketing tools such as BombBomb have CRM-like capability.Your time as a rental agent should have generated a very valuable list of past contacts.  

Hi everyone.Any advice on how to inspect a townhouse, in terms of what to check, whether I should move tenants belongings around to see the walls and floors, what tools to bring, etc. etc.?

Realtors dont work for free.As soon as you call an agent, some of these tools in your tool bag evaporate.
