I try to focus on the Higher dollar / per hour tasks. 

As a new investor undertaking my first BRRRR project, I'm seeking advice on raising the appraisal value of a property without overspending on improvements that only enhance perceived value. 

I paid my local contractor for a major renovation here, after I did a walk through and paid as each task got done.

I agree with Ken, either look to see if there is a freelancer in your area, or post an ad on craigslist for the job offer, ask the realtor you are working with if they can provide a video tour or ask investors apart of your REIA if they can recommend someone to handle this task.

Some people think that the only task a property manager does is to collect the rent, and they do not want to pay for that service.However, a good property manager's most valuable contribution is selecting reliable tenants.

If you don't have keywords setup already consider doing that under the bell on the upper right corner of the task bar.Chicago is massive and like most metropolitan areas it has BOTH appreciation and cash flow. 

I was able to look over the shoulder of the experienced investor and took on multiple tasks myself.

After that, tasks include checking the property title, conducting a home inspection, getting an appraisal, and, if necessary, arranging financing.

This diversity allows for tailored investment strategies, whether for rental, refurbishment, or commercial use.Urban Revitalization and Development:Significant revitalization efforts, particularly in downtown Allentown, have enhanced the Lehigh Valley's appeal as a center for business, culture, and metropolitan living.

I can check on the properties regularly and perform the little maintenance tasks that come up.That being said after having some success here in California I decided to sell a property here and invest the proceeds in Georgia (bought 8 different properties).
