Its popularity is attributed in part to shifts in attitude in recent years among executives, who have concluded that they no longer need to keep their companies in traditional business centers such as Century City and downtown Los Angeles and have set up shop in the increasingly upscale neighborhoods along the South Bay.

It is a large cabin with acreage, private beach, located on two lakes in northern Michigan so it has a lot of desirable attributes that allow for it to rent at the rates and frequency in which it does.

I'm struggling to find local comps with similar attributes to come to a realistic ARV.What value does a barn, large double garage bring to an antique New England house?

Here are some of my ideas:- Analyzing direct-mail campaigns for flippers/wholesalers to determine the demographic/property attributes that are most likely to sell for an under-market price.- Analyze marketing pieces to determine language patterns/formats most likely to result in leads.- Analyze MLS data to automatically identify under-priced properties.- Determine the likelihood that a tenant will default on their lease, or that the lease will end in an eviction.These are just some ideas.

I know as I grow my portfolio, the inspector will become more and more valuable as it won’t be feasible to go see proprieties anymore before offering but in the meantime I sometimes wonder if using one is worth the money.Has anyone had a big save attributed to their inspector and if so, what was it?
