Highest bill before was $800.12% rate increase would make that previous highest rate now $900$900 to $1100 is only about an 18% increase.18% could easily be attributed to the fact that (1) tenants do stupid things, (2) tenants have selective memory when it comes to remember stupid things they do, and (3) tenants out right lie. 

I don't want the dog to bite others in the building and then there will be 3rd party liability exposure attribute back to the landlord in case there is a lawsuit.These are my concerns, am I worrying too much?

Is there any way to attribute rental income to my non-working spouse enough to get her qualified for Fannie Mae loans?

Is the difference in values attributable to added value by the whole seller and at what cost to him/her? 

http://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2849/blog_posts/21649-attributes-and-mindset-of-a-successful-real-estate-investorI wrote a blog recently about this.

I attribute this to the facts that... each investor has their own parameters and ideas of what makes a strong note... each investor has been taught differently... and, no one knows what the going loan rates/terms are in the Coachella Valley where this condo is.Obviously it would be best for me to meet, or undercut a bit, what the current private lending structures are in this area.

My strategy often considers other attributes of a property like you describe.

That's based on the fact that, in this area, two houses that are nearly identical other than the amount of above-grade livable square footage, the one with more square footage will sell for an average of about $15 per extra square foot more.Now, occasionally I'll have appraisers who will use $12/sf or $17/sf instead of the typical $15/sf, but I don't attribute that to them using an arbitrary amount -- instead, I attribute it to different appraisers using different data and also taking into account subjective aspects of the property, as K.

I attribute that to the fact that they are very dark.
