My understanding of a duplex appraisal is that the appraiser will look at the same thing they look at as when appraising a SFR; they won't necessarily give you a higher appraisal because you've got multiple tenants.

But I have seen far more conflict working with contractors we have never worked with before on a design-bid-build process than I ever have on a negotiated-referral basis.My recommendation is to interview the architect and see if that is someone you are interested in working with and opt to sign their agreement separately if you are uncomfortable with them being included in the contractors agreement.

I offered 5K over asking and after interviewing my mortage broker and RE agent I got the property.

Multiple units on the lot.

You can use the escrow account situation to your advantage in multiple ways.

After multiple attempts to contact him, my PM began eviction proceedings this month.

Since so many are demanding one party to do the work of what used to take multiples, old business models in real estate are absolutely headed for a major disruption.

For me, if I analyzed and ran it through my system then I would say no but I also take into multiple factors and I am in a different position in my investing career than you.

As far as I can tell there are multiple points where you can pull out of a deal.

I wonder is it okay for me to work with multiple agents in different states to hunt for deals?
