What is Jean Working on Now in Real Estate?

Researching properties remotely takes a lot of risks. I depend on internet photo’s to get an understanding of the work that needs to be done, and I budget based on a “worst case” rehab condition. Since I was using hard money on this deal, I had to get an appraisal. I was shocked when the appraiser came back recommending NO UPGRADES and an as-is value of $130k.
