Oakland fix-and-flip properties may involve older housing, additions, converted basements, deferred maintenance, fire or water damage, incomplete permits, and neighborhood-specific renovation expectations.
As-is analysis before renovation
The standard assignment reflects the property in its current condition. Plans and budgets may be reviewed as assignment information without automatically creating an after-repair value.
Renovation potential varies by market segment
Buyer reaction to renovation quality and condition differs between hillside custom homes, urban neighborhoods, older detached housing, condominiums, and investor-oriented areas.
Current collateral considerations
- Observed condition

Does the appraisal include an after-repair value?
