I did my best to estimate all of my costs. 

The property is now valuing minimum at 365K via Zillow, HAR, and in the 400's with CreditKarma, with identical / neighboring units selling +$20,000.00 more than those estimates.

This bipartisan proposal responds to the urgent need for new housing, with estimates suggesting a shortage of up to 5.5 million units nationwide.Legislation like the HOUSES Act, which has received bipartisan support, aims to unlock millions of new homes by using underutilized federal land.

>appraisal just came back for $235K when we had estimated along with our real estate agent an ARV closer to $340K based on comps. in My market the refi appraisals are more conservative than appraisals associated with offers.  

The ARVs will be high by using bad comps and the rehab estimates are almost always super-low.
