For example maybe the issue is not that the landlord is keeping rents artificially low but that walking on the living room floor is like walking on a boat and there's significant functional obsolescence throughout the assetLandlords do often keep their rents artificially low, but if you were a lender you would agree that someone throwing good money away is also a little insane and potentially suspect.So these are just a few of the reasons that you and/or your lenders and investors are forced to value your target property on how the property is actually currently performing.On the other hand, as opposed to doing a single valuation you should be doing a full pro forma.
Troy Norwood Buying Bank Owned Properties That Aren't on The Market
31 May 2016 | 10 replies
this actually happened with the obama administration years ago.these are what you are finding, troy. these houses are less than desirable and the bank, well frankly, " has bigger fish to fry". so these houses sit and sit and sit. get run down, and pretty soon, when the bank wakes up and realizes they have thousands of dollars in carrying costs invested in this house, they discover that they will never get anywhere near the amount that they have invested in the house back to them, so they " drop" the house. thats right, they write it off. they stop paying someone to check on it every 2 weeks, they stop paying someone to mow the lawn, etc. and they stop paying the taxes.my advice to you, call and ask the bank if they have " released the lien or mortgage" back to the original owner. some banks will tell you, others will not. then, call the local tax authority. ask how many years ago the last taxes were paid on the house and who paid them. if it was a bank, and they stopped paying the taxes, well, there is your first sign that the bank has dropped the house. they aren't going to keep paying the taxes on a house that they no longer want, are they?
