That's why I'm intrigued by the reliable returns on notes, albeit lower.

.* Appraisers with lack of skill or motivation (due to their low fees received or charged) which deters them from doing the work required for an reliable valuation.* Residential properties (2-4 units) are mainly valued by sold comps and not with the income approach, since these properties are typically not purchased for their income potential exclusively.* adu/jadu's add contributory value to the property as a whole, which may or may not = the cost to build them.

This forum is a good place for sharing both positive and negative associations.Finding new and reliable sources is always a difficult task.

Not looking for free advice, but reliable advice and an ongoing relationship as we travel this path. 

This involves finding a reliable contractor, a property manager and a real estate agent who specializes in investment properties in the area.

I wanted to get your opinions: Does it seem reliable and thorough?

The NC Secretary of State has what they call an eNotary, but "the process maintains the traditional safeguards of requiring the eNotary and the signer to be in the same physical location and for the identity of the signer to be verified by the eNotary." 

I agree that having comps from a realtor/agent with MLS access provides the most accurate and reliable data.I understand the importance of vetting potential partners for their capital, project management experience, and access to reliable contractors. 

Secondly, transferring property doesn’t erase prior deed and mortgage records so your identity is not cloaked in secrecy.

Any advice on how to find a more reliable property manager would also be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your help!
