Your 1st photo is your Visual HOOK.

It would be like if someone prepared to sell by painting to create fresh visual interest, but chose fuscia and lime green...those colors would certainly catch the eye but I'd never claim that they overdid the curb appeal by painting with too much visual interest.

I'm currently reading David Greene's book on BRRRR and was curious about how you all go about planning or visualizing added rooms to potential purchases. 

But when I share that the low point on that visual is 1.700% of mortgages, and the high point is 1.730%, maybe the context makes a difference.

Effective  12/1/2024 @ 12:01a the Louisville rental registry requires the 16 page Lead Hazard Evaluation form in addition to the Affidavit of Compliance. Don't forget about your LMRC# and your registration fee!

We’ll use these as visual aids in our presentations to investors, during dispo of fix and flips, and for our property managers to show prospective out-of-town tenant leads. 

Federal programs will require you to use GC/licensed folks for a lot of the work and they will get reimbursed by the institution that your loan is with; many GCs don't want to wait on the float time of requesting funds and getting them.Depending on the program and rehab/condition of the home, you may not be required to live in the home (think black mold remediation...bank isn't going to put you in a compromised position) however they may have min/max of when you need to move in.

If there's a dispute on the disposition, having visual evidence of what you're asserting is really important.

Also, staging and professional photography can help potential buyers visualize the space better.Lastly, think about local advertising—social media, networking, and maybe hosting an event for local agents could help get more eyes on the property.

For vacant units, consider virtual staging through VirtualStaging.ai or something like that to help prospective tenants visualize the space.Hope this helps expand your marketing toolkit.
