@Stephanie WellsUnless it’s adding parking spots I wouldn’t say it would hold much weight on the appraisal. $6k-$8k is a lot to spend compared to the return you’ll get on adding value to the property.

But, I wouldn't push on this unless you're willing to lose the deal.

Note, even if insurance pays for all the damage your property suffers, you still lose.

If you do not create interest quickly, you likely will lose your prospect's attention.Fear - seems to be the consistent reason many have not developed this invaluable communication skill.Tip for you - Starting any conversation with a simple Hello.Cheers,Jeffrey BaxterPS  Love to share my story as well with any that has an interest.Goal -  Looking for small multifamily residential properties, that are in a decent community, in any state.

This means I gain equity through appreciation and my cash flow increases over time.You could pay all cash for rental properties, but you lose scale and time.

Of course, you don't....So in order to possibly save yourself 20%, you are willing to take the risk of losing way more than that in time and money?

I've done fairly well on startengine.com had three larger returns in three years out of 9 investments so am ahead of my expectations. but remember all could fail so do your due diligence and do not put in more than you could afford to lose.

You still make gains by positive cash flow and equity gains with every mortgage payment and you are not in jeopardy of losing the property if you lose your job.

Yes, you lose the  thrill of the chase, but there’s much to gain for many investors.

Hey everyone, im on the newer side of being a real estate investor and seem to lose property deals to last minute circumstances popping up. would anyone be willing to help me iron out my game plan for investing?
