Hi Patrick - I would suggest to get the professional appraisal done.

I got lucky and rented the developers house :) I also owned 4 rentals in Patrick farms just across the street north of Reunion.. if you are dead set on MS thats what I recommend anything else you invest in going to be a crap shoot at best.

@Patrick Roberts is correct.

Quote from @Patrick Roberts: Check out REI Central, CHS Circle, and the Tri-County Investors Association.

Quote from @Patrick Drury: @Doronda PlacideJoin local real estate investor associations in your area and check Facebook for local meet-ups so you can network with investor-friendly agents or even wholesalers in your market that find dealsSome good ones are the Westbank Real Estate Investors Meetup that meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month (details here wbrealestateinvestors.com)North Shore REIA in CovingtonSt Bernard MeetupNOREIAI go to all of them and they are good.

The difference on each was ~10% and 10% on these properties were 6 figure difference.To address @Patrick Britton sarcastic reply on why I know the value better than the appraiser in my market is that I deal primarily with small multiplex in my market.
