I have come up with a list of skills that I feel would be a great help to the renovation process:3D Modeling/Building Measurements-With a 3D model you can get accurate floor plans, elevations and 3D views of the buildingTest Fit Layouts-Once the 3D model is built, multiple layouts can be created and analyzed-Potential problems can be solved before they are builtMaterial Calculation/Cost-When the design is finalized, square footages and materials can be calculated based off of the modelVisualization Renderings-You get imagery of the building/spaces before construction moves forward-There is a reference during construction Construction Documentation-Specific details can be drawn and dimensioned Staging-A house with furniture better shows the potential of the space Architectural Photography-People want nice pictures that actually show the space and they want a lot of themI would appreciate your feedback on this. 

@Nathan Norway sounds to me like you are taking these figures from the listing and accepting them as accurate?

Thanks for your perspective, you have replied to my posts about this topic in the past and I see you all over the forums, always generously sharing sensible and accurate information. 

While not 100% accurate it can sorta give you a ballpark.

I was hoping someone could clarify if this is accurate or am I just not asking the correct questions?  

Excluding Zillow, Redfin, Trulia, Realtor.com, and local agents, where else can we find ACCURATE appraisals/comps for single family homes?

3) itemize your expenses bc you may find out the 50% rule is not accurate for your area. 4) make sure you account for a Third party property manager (this will minimize your issues with non-payment and other tenant issues) I would double check those figures to make sure they are accurate.

How does one estimate the fluctuation of rental income on a cash flowing properly accurately.

How does one predict the market accurately to make the most intelligent assumptions about the economy for more efficient real estate investing?
