Not the intention, just being very direct here: I am not going to show those numbers for 2 reasons.1) if I did ( and I would blow you away if I did), it would only cause people to misunderstand what I am trying to teach and 2) I don't have to show you or anyone anything.

It is zoned single family but since the previous owner is using it as a rooming house a few things look different that I am worried about the appraiser not passing:Outside doors for each room with locks.The only common area is the kitchen, no dining room, living room, etc.The rooms consist of 5 bedrooms, 1 kitchen, and 2 bathrooms.Each room has a bed and a small drawer which I am thinking of diassembling before the appraiser comes.Would I have a problem with this?
