I listed another house one time that was just the opposite....sales price about double the tax value....unique house, unique neighborhood about a block long with all kinds of styles, sizes, ages.Just knocked off 25% of the tax value on an investment property I owned by challenging the value at the appraisal district hearings....value of the house has not changed, condition has not changed....their value was automated and not challenged by the district fairly.Bank appraisals where someone actually sees the house, sees the inside, and is familiar with values in the area is way more accurate.

and it was 97% accurate.. so you just have to know you may do a boo boo one time.. 

You may want to consider working with a CPA in the future to save you the hassle of doing the return and to also provide you advice/suggestions.You may also want to see if the accountant can review the return you prepared to determine if it was done accurately.

It is unclear how this added inventory of new housing will affect the existing stock.I think that Ogden will out-perform the Wasatch front outside of the immediate Salt Lake area.  

Obviously areas with more STR investing is going to have more STR companies who will be able to provide more accurate data. 

We are expanding to Richmond, VA and I have a few questions:***In VA, do I, personally, need my real estate license to perform property management services?

And get an AN ACCURATE ARV. 

While our markets are high in VA right now, we can achieve way close to the 1% rule than that - especially in a poor performing school district. 

Now take that number and subtract your estimated rehab (make sure this is as accurate as possible and add another 10% or so onto it).

The boots on the ground seems to be more accurate than the folks sitting in offices coming up w this data.
