Ashley — happy to help point you in the right direction.Quick clarifiers so I don’t send you to the wrong group:• Ground-up vs major renovation?

Ashley, this is the classic SoCal investor dilemma.

Hi Ashley,This comes down to process at the AMC level, not just finding a “good appraiser.”The way we handle STR appraisals is before the order is ever placed:When we order the appraisal through one of the AMCs we use, we:Disclose upfront that the subject property is (or will be) a short-term rentalAsk the AMC to assign an appraiser who is familiar with both the local market and STR use in that areaMake sure the appraiser understands the intended use before accepting the assignmentMost appraisers will not put STR income directly on the 1007 rent schedule, even when the data is strong.

Here in a couple weeks they should be releasing a ‘Real Estate Rookie’ episode I did with Tony and Ashley on just that.

@Ashley ClearyGeneral rule of thumb is it's easier to purchase the land and do the construction loan in one transaction. 

Stores that have since moved-in to the space include Costco, HomeGoods, Petco, Hobby Lobby, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Field and Stream, Best Buy, and Ashley Furniture Home Store.Transit Oriented/Mix-Use Developments- Mobile Bay Bridge Project is said to begin in 2020, costing $2.1 billion and consisting of a six-lane cable stay bridge over the Mobile Bay connecting Mobile and Eastern Shore.
