While the world embraces tech tools to automate workflows and tasks, reduce errors, and thereby increasing precision, the Appraiser is basically doing the same thing they did 80+ years ago.  

My last repair took me 6 hours, but took mechanic with all the right tools, 45 minutes.

the finance sector that has really changed is the NON QM non owner occ loans that the HML / private lenders were off loading to Hedgefunds or other institutional note buyers.. these are not tied to the govmit.. so their funding sources just stopped over night.. so what your seeing is the SFR  BRRR person who was counting on a 5% rate to refi or cash out.. those are not available right now  cash out is limited or LTV pulled way back and rates at 8.5 to 10%  OVER NIGHT>. so those stuck in HML doing BRRRR have some issues and those that paid cash well if they want to pull cash it will be some time before they can at a good rate or maybe the rates will never be that good.. also some probably or a lot used their HELOCs to pay cash.. so now they leveraged their personal resi and cant pay it back until they refi. you know that was a popular model talked about on this site.  

So I took it up on my self to call and have the electric put in my name cause I knew what he meant by shouting **** down around here..So we went all weekend thinking since the guy came Friday and talked with him and he knew what was going on and he knew cause this was his 3rd time to deal with norma and will roberts that he wasn't turning it off cause there wasn't no bang out here they were going to be working . they were just trying to force us out and make us leave and leave hafe of ourvstuff here cause he had already had the locks changed on the shop were all our tools were and our other things that we had stored in there.but in oklahoma I did know what I could do about any of this cause now ive came home to a generator running my house to keep lights going anf my freg amd things and ive got the shitvthatvthe hole world is scared of.so I'm corninten to this place for at least 3 weeks the earliest . and I'm not wantingvtobhere this noisy thing that long.

Lastly, please, please, please don't offer a "virtual tour" that's a series of bad photos crossfaded by outdated software tools with SNL Deep Thoughts piano music in the background.

The tool on this website is confusing since I did it this way (paying cash first)I bought for 91,000Put 13,000Total 104,000Appraisal 238,000I am taking 75% at 3.8 so thats 172,000When using the calculator what do I put for purchase price, ARV, then what do I put In the finance assumption for % downpayment of purchase price? 

Otherwise, typically the county websites will have a search tool for those records.Obviously, it's more time consuming to go this route and there's no way of knowing equity.

My argument for doing most of the rehab is mainly because I have the knowledge/tools to accomplish a lot of the repairs, and also the money I could save by doing a lot of repairs at cost.

There's a huge difference in Jeldwen or similar Menards/Home Depot windows, and lines like Marvin/Andersen (popular in Minnesota, and the only lines we install). 

You can see why AOC is very popular and the direction NY is trending in so it would be foolish to think the affluent white half-gentrified areas are immune to it.
