Other homes with the same floor plan and square footage in the subdivision have recently sold from $380k to $493K.

Newer investor myself, sold the last one around 2 years ago and just purchased again to close next week.

So, I likely need to replace the roof if I intend to live here longer….and that’s the issue…So here is the dilemma: I’m not sure I will want to live here for the 4 full years I intended to live here for when I moved back in and in hindsight I would have sold it to avoid capex.

I'm a new property investor but I've bought and sold my own houses for 20 years. 

Normally I know that I would use similar homes recently sold. 

I have sold houses and have friends that have bought houses and I know their financials.

I'm not sure why it hasn't been sold/ auctioned off but I am trying to find out more information about it.

I went with a flat fee of 30k each.. and I then spent 50k on a big presentation in San Francisco.. included a room for 300 .. drinks etc. radio adds my flight down ( well I flew my own plane LOL  but my team had to fly down.. ) we sold those all of them in that one weekend.. so this lowly dumb @@@S realtor ( me) made 660k in one weekend minus 50k in expenses so like I said you can go both ways with commish.. and those builder were estatic their bank was putting pressure on them and they knew exactly what I was making since we had a listing agreement and I got paid on the hud like any other bozo realtor.

It would be ideal to know for sure if the properties will appraise for at least 100K which is a common minimum standard in hard and private money.  

My strategy (which worked) was that I would have them fixed up and sold way before that one year was up.
