How it works

That is genuinely the whole first step. Before asking you anything else we pull the parcel record, the assessed value and history, comparable sales, and what the property actually is — zoning, lot, structure, and whether it sits in a mapped floodplain or an overlay.

The parcel record, assessed value, zoning and floodplain maps are public. Sale prices are not — an Idaho deed does not have to state the price — so we tell you which comparable sales we relied on. We would rather do the work than make you describe it.

Four numbers decide an offer: what the property is worth once it is fixed, what fixing it costs, what it costs us to hold it while that happens, and the spread we need to make the transaction worth doing.

For income property the same discipline applies to rent roll, vacancy, and what the operating expenses actually are rather than what a pro forma claims.

You get the number and the working behind it — the after-repair value we used, the scope we priced, the holding period we assumed, and the margin. The parcel, zoning and assessment inputs are public records you can check yourself, and we name the comparable sales behind the value.

We do not label that margin profit and we do not present it as a percentage markup. It is the spread the business runs on, and stating it plainly is the point.

If you accept, we open escrow with a local title company. Timing is yours — a fast close where speed is the point, or months where it is not.

If we agree a number, we sign the purchase agreement and fund the purchase with our own capital.
