    How to Pull Comps Like an Appraiser: Valuations, Red Flags & Why Bad Numbers Kill Good Deals

    Week 5 of KÉCŌ Live and we're tackling one of the most critical — and most misunderstood — skills in real estate investing: pulling comps. Whether you're wholesaling, flipping, building ground-up, or doing a buy-and-hold, the value is everything. Get it wrong and no amount of great financing will save you. KECO Capital's loan originators break down exactly how appraisers and underwriters evaluate property values, walk through two real deals, and introduce a powerful software tool to help investors find deals and run numbers smarter. Loan Submission Document Checklist PDF Connected Investors (2 week trial + free skip traces) 🏗️ What We Cover:* Process Recap — The five stages every private lending deal moves through, the most common post-submission delays (low valuations, outdated entity docs, frozen credit), and how to avoid each one* How to Pull Comps the Right Way — The appraiser's rule of thumb on square footage (±25%), year built, bed/bath count, distance (the 2-mile rule), and why the most recent and closest sale always carries the most weight* Real Deal #1: The New Orleans Condo — Appraisal came in at $525K. Units in the same building had been sitting unsold for 532 days with a $50K price drop and still no buyers. That’s what appraisal values don’t show.* Real Deal #2: The Hawaii New Build — Investor ran a conservative ARV of $1.2M. Appraiser came in at $4.6M. How comparable selection and bed/bath count made the difference.* Non-Disclosure States — How to pull comps when sold prices aren't public, and why MLS access through a local agent is still the gold standard* Connected Investors Demo — The software KECO uses to find off-market deals, run AI-driven analytics, and skip trace property owners nationwide (+ a free 2-week trial link)* Live Q&A — Hawaii Island permitting timelines, Zillow vs. Redfin vs. MLS, and how to handle comps in declining markets Episode Timestamps00:00 Welcome and Agenda01:52 Private Lending Recap03:57 Common Underwriting Delays07:41 Comps Basics and Rules12:40 Valuation Case Studies18:46 Non Disclosure State Comps23:23 Deal Kill Lessons27:40 Connected Investors Tool29:27 Rebutting Appraisals31:22 Final Q&A and Wrap Up Connect with KÉCŌJoin us live every Friday - Get the Call LinkFollow on Instagram - @keco.liveEverything KÉCŌ - Explore More Herewww.KECOCAPITAL.com KÉCŌ Capital is a private lender specializing in fix-and-flip, bridge, ground-up construction, and DSCR loans for real estate investors nationwide.

    Leverage Allocation Explained: Why Rate & Points Aren't What Matter

    Week 3 of KÉCŌ Live and we're getting into one of the most misunderstood concepts in private lending — leverage allocation. Most investors are negotiating on the wrong things. If you're laser-focused on rate and points but ignoring how your leverage is actually structured, you're leaving money on the table every single deal. KÉCŌ Capital's loan originators break it all down, plus walk through a real deal that closed in 15 days — despite an ARV coming in $1.3 million below expectations. In this episodeLearning Lessons — How travel costs (flights, rentals) inflate appraisal fees in island and remote markets, why insurance carriers are pulling out of certain areas, the engineering survey requirement for fire-damaged properties, and title company endorsement delays that nearly killed a closing Market Update — Rising appraisal costs, tightening capital guidelines, and what happens when investors jump into new markets without local knowledge Leverage Allocation Deep Dive — Wrapped interest vs. monthly payments, advanced draws, why 93% LTC from one lender isn't the same as 93% LTC from another, and how to calculate your true ROI instead of chasing profit per deal Live Deal Breakdown — $3.65M purchase, $316K rehab, ARV miss of $1.3M, title company issues, insurance turnaround in 48 hours, closed in 15 days. Here's how we navigated it. Live Q&A — What's the basic formula to evaluate a deal? What margin is the minimum to move forward? How do you run comps the way appraisers and underwriters actually do?
