I mean you get appraisal A (original house), then you know what additional profit and features to add to get appraisal B. There is a lot of slack in the remodel business and economies of scale to exploit so you can probably guarantee a nice return. Especially if you can guarantee a pool of work to contractors (start with having them bid on it and then maybe get a few in house contractors). You can probably get exclusives on materials as well.
