Thanks Charlie,I agree and appraisals can be influenced in your benefit if you want to play that game.

It wasn't yet enough for me to see the other road but now I knew there was one.It wouldn't let up, especially not with a positive influence around. 

If you used a credit score as well then there are certain additional factors you need to add: credit score, score range, negative factors influencing score (and mentioning too many inquiries if that is a factor].BTW if you have  set standards in terms of screening you pretty much cover your FHA issues too by being obviously non discriminatory. 

Ask yourself why and have people within your circle of influence ask you why so you can explain and hear yourself.

Do you want to invest in so cal or out of state or will the numbers determine that?

I liked the Self directed Ira so much and had a pretty big sphere of influence that I started my own self directed company.

Sellers Mom Passed and he wanted out with some influence on the fiance to sell the house fast for cash.

City officials, chamber of commerce, media and influencers are all accessible and ready to support you. 

Unfortunately, their influence is forming an army of "gurus" rather than honest wholesalers.
