@Joe Bertolino and @Matt Motil that makes sense that something that doesn't look like marketing material is much more likely to be opened.

You might look at some of @Joe Fairless's stuff as that is what he does all the time.

Last week we had @Mary Tello and @Joe Howes come out for their first meeting.  

@Stuart Gardner  Welcome to BP!

Like many houses throughout Palo Alto and Menlo Park (including Steve Jobs' home), this house was originally developed by John Brooks Boyd and famous developer Joe Eichler.This house is owned by a local investor, who is currently rehabbing it to offer it as a class A SFR.TO LEARN MORE about the project, send me a note and I'll provide you details on the date/location of the meeting.Floor plan of an Eichler Home designed by John Brooks Boyd.

Joe Villeneuve Wow!

@Joe VettorelWelcome to bigger pockets.

Joe's brother-in-law buying Joe's house at a short sale would be a huge red flag for fraud.I think the biggest arrow in your quiver is #1, and your most probable path to success is to order a fresh appraisal with a fresh opinion of value, and once it comes back go to your (or the end-lender's) appraisal department (not the AMC, the lender's internal folks) and argue that the new appraisal is more credible than the previous one because of #1 ("if the appraiser didn't even go to the comps for a quick drive-by photo, who knows what else he didn't even actually do?")
