Been there and done that numerous times.

My biggest issue with this appraisal is that he used a fixer upper that had recently been foreclosed on and a short sale as comps for a nicely remodeled home, when there are numerous remodeled sales in the neighborhood selling for $60,000 - $70,000 more.  

Thanks James for welcoming.Johnny, thanks for sending out an invite to connect. 

I've been interested in real estate investing(particularly buy and hold for cash flow) for some time, but always been hesitant to jump in.I've read numerous books, listened to almost 100 BP podcasts, been to some local REIA meetings, but I've yet to pull the trigger on anything.

It sends a message to my guests inviting them to stay an extra night if a vacancy exists immediately after their checkout. yourporter has yet to implement this.

Thanks for the invite!

@Zach Jacob I would reach out to @Joe Fairless for an invite to the local investor meet up held each month if you are interested in networking and learning more in person.

These types of jobs or professions have many things in common I'm sure.Not only do you have a high degree of technical proficiency with numerous protocols but there is almost an "art" to employ the proper action and do so in, not just a timely manner, but very quickly, in an instant. 

When I travel to Hawaii, and spend a day or two looking at potential investment housing...even if I don't buy anything...that plane ticket is a deduction.I'm going to assume you're a smart guy, so as you know, there are numerous methods to get around paying taxes on your real estate income.  

All you aspiring SF investors on this thread, do yourselves a favor, and search on BP for the numerous threads dedicated to "cashflow vs appreciation."
