Hello, I own a home inspection company and I’m looking for ideas to increase value that I can provide to agents. 

In my market it’s either houses that are in too good of condition and can’t afford to buy and increase equity to flip or ones that are beyond repair and not looking into new constructions since area is not expanding at a high enough rate and hold onto until some out of town we decides they want a luxurious vacation home.

Lawsuit pending. 2018 Increased awareness of disparate impact of criminal history screening Fair Chance Housing Ordinance SMC 14.09.025 disallows use of criminal records in the screening process.

There is a program referred to as a Rollover as Business Startup that allows you to use existing tax-deferred retirement savings to capitalize a business that you are actively engaged in. 

I'm concerned that my equity will only be my down payment and to make my numbers I will need to increase the rents in the next 12 months. 

Net migration is due to increase in the next couple of years and tougher mortgage rules have forced potential first-time buyers to stay in the rental market.

Are there any indicators that suggest population will increase, decrease or stay about the same? 

They are more likely to get opened and, in turn, increase your response.

These have increased our value by 75% through forced appreciation and buying it right.

@Bruce Harding if neither you nor the seller are experienced with this type of property I would recommend you both consider the value of engaging an experienced agent to represent your own respective interests.
