(Ok so think "high" is actually the bottom of one side.

hello BP familyMy name is Stefan Chirila and moved in California from Romania in 2011. happy to be here and finally taking  my first action and come on board.I am 32 years old, did sport at the highest level all my life, I am married and Civil Engineer, when I moved in US I started working as a labor for a small construction company(didn't have rights, and not shame about that), throughout time I learned the language and got my rights and equivalent my degrees and eventually started to work in construction management as an assistant Superintendent for a very big GC, everything is good happy with my job with my growth in US in a very short time, but always had in me the filling that I can do more then just working hard and make money for someone else, always dream about financial freedom, never actually took actions in that direction. 

I'm actually getting ready to launch my own brokerage in the next month.

Actually, I hire people to do it, but you get the idea.

Again, not cash flow to retire on, but think of it as an investment account with pretty hands off management.Also, the fact that homes sold lower and were then rehabbed may actually help you out in 5 years if the finish level in the area was brought to a higher standard.

I have been doing some education regarding the REI thru multiple books but still there are some gaps on understanding the numbers, property valuation etc. which i believe doesn't make sense until i actually make a deal work.

Chris Seveney We have a few family members that live out in Virginia actually and they were saying the same thing.

Is there an actual reasonable fix to this or do I have to install the fancy heat sensing flaps that will close off air flow going to the bedrooms???

If someone did something to turn a bedroom into not-a-bedroom, and didn't tell the county, the appraiser is supposed to go off of what is physically present at the time of the appraisal.

As for the actual property, I always start looking on the MLS.
