I thought the graph below from NorthMarq's 1Q21 Capital Report was interesting with the spread between major market and non-major market cap rates falling to the tightest spread in over a decade.

Hello All, I am seeking a reliable, investor friendly contractor for a major duplex reno in Schenectady. 

We had MAJOR construction happening on 3 sides of our 2 STRs (back yard - 8 story building and both sides - 19 stories & 4 stories) for over 2 years!

However, all of this is changing in 2021 as Zillow is in the process of becoming a Broker in most of the major MLS systems and therefore will have MLS access. 

DTI hasn't been a major obstacle to us, so this might be tougher for some.

Nothing too major, I think Ive put maybe $20-22K into the house.

Refinance & Repair:You could refinance the property and use the cash to take care of of the major capex items coming in the near future.

Our original construction contract had an estimated finish date with the majority of work being completed by 12/31/20.

Got it, Call one of the major real estate companies in your area and the Manager or Broker should be able to refer a good appraiser to you.

The truth is, the overwhelming majority of them love the idea but will never put in the effort.
