I'm getting a little confused about how to handle finished basement sq. ft. when comparing properties.

Hi Grant,1) Regarding the ARV, look at properties comparable to yours (GLA, age, br/ba, lot, location) after they have been remodeled or" flipped"2) Running numbers on multiple potential deals, you will learn quickly what is a good deal and what's not.3) I would think so, so shop around.4)  I would call title companies in your marketplace.I hope that helps!

Compare the two and look at the similarities or differences.Is there a healthy mixture of majority and minority people living in the area?

Wondering how typical rates compare between HELOC, Home Eq Loan, and a conventional loan for income property? 

For a true indication, check local listings for comparables.

Where this also helps compared with mobile homes is most of our homes need to be 15' apart for fire safety, whereas I would imagine these could have a 0' offset.  

The rates on the 4 unit are astronomical even compared to what the current owner is paying.  

.• Market value - Compare the comps in the area that are in the appraisal range that you are hoping for and see what they deliver.

I'm happy to compare notes and help however I can.

Many have told us they have NEVER been to one of these before, and us showing them our appreciation will be returned with great service and priority to our clients.Money and up charging is very small compared to your reputation to your owners, tenants, and vendors and more importantly setting the expectations with them in the beginning.Any vendor that wants to work with us has to come and interview and let us know why they think they would be a good fit as a 3rd party vendor, what they want to expect from us and what we are expecting of them.Works great, keeping our lines of communication open and upfront from the begining.
