Say you walk into a flip and the kitchen looks 20 years old. The cabinets are ugly, the hardware is dated, and the color definitely isn’t helping. But the boxes are solid. Nothing is broken, and the layout works. Are you ripping everything out because buyers expect a “new kitchen,” or painting th...
One thing I've learned talking to traditional real estate investors is that a lot of people simply don't see value in mobile homes. I do.

I'm curious where everyone stands on this. When financing an investment property—buy & hold or fix & flip—do you actually prefer a traditional appraisal, or would you rather work with a lender that can use an alternative valuation method when possible? I can see both sides. Reasons to want an app...
