Providing this information upfront can help to ensure that the appraiser has all the necessary information to provide an accurate appraisal.Overall, by focusing on cost-effective upgrades and providing the appraiser with the information they need, you can increase the chances of achieving a favorable appraisal that will allow you to be front-end profitable on your rental property after refinancing.

I Like the example you provided I'll start looking for some multi-family  properties in Texas!

HOWEVER, most counties provide this database as a large downloadable file that is updated quarterly to yearly.

Is it seller financing that you're providing ? 

You need to provide a lot more information to evaluate this deal.

They will grant a court order and the money will come out of his paycheck.Most folks that get prosecuted for tax fraud have a pissed off ex in the background who provides the IRS with enough info to go after them. 

Greetings, BP Team.I am putting the puzzle pieces together in order to get ready for my first project, and ask that Houston-area investors reach out to me with the names of trusted contractors.Specifically, I am in need of a general contractor that:1. provides estimates of rehab works that come reasonably close to actuals (firm bids would be a plus),2. is able and willing to do cosmetic work as well as studs-deep rehabs,3. has a dependable crew(s) and is known to hit targeted completion dates,4. is knowledgeable of Houston / Harris County permitting and inspection requirements.As this will be the first of a long line of profitable projects, I really appreciate your referrals and any other recommendations that you could lend me.Thanks in advance!

I'd also suggest running some for-rent ads, to see what type of response you get.It's notoriously difficult to accurately predict ARV on these types of properties, because they're so niche, and the market for them is usually completely different than the market for more standard properties...For instance, a lot of lenders won't provide a mortgage on a property for less than $100k--and if that's the case in your area, that would mean that the only potential buyers for the property are cash buyers, which makes selling the property more difficult.  

Getting into the neighborhoods on the outskirts of these areas certainly provides some great opportunities.

If you're not satisfied, you can cancel the contract.I highly recommend doing this, as it provides an easy out.
