Say for instance, homeowner decides to back out of deal once started, decides they dont want to sell once renovation is complete etc etc?

Ad Valorum cannot be negotiated but IRS and State in many instances can be..

For instance if you say "Must replace furnace" you need to provide the page of the report that says "Furnace unsatisfactory".Now if you really want to end it, you can always say "If you want I can provide the pages dealing with Lead based paint, Radon and Mold, but I didn't think your client would really want them because they have to disclose later".:)

But there are too many instances where the descretion of the appraiser is allowed due to lack of nearby comps or personal perception of the neighborhood.

For instance, i bought a HOT house from a wholesaler and because i knew all the bank needed to do was order the appraisal and analyze the budget of the rehab and then the ARV, I could close in 2-3 weeks.

don't know there is in many other states.. plus as stated no income tax.Oregon has no sales tax.. and that's cool when your buying high ticket items like a car for instance or a million dollar motor home.. or a 3 million dollar plane.. then it offsets nicely.

For instance I'll sometimes use my angelco verification letter as proof for another platform.

For instance, per confirmed lead, an hourly rate, or fees derived from the actual purchase of a property.

For instance, I should never need to replace the studs in my wall if they are protected from damage.  

For instance, I would like to buy and read the flipping and cost of rehab books, but I don't know how valuable they will be for me seeing as I'm looking to buy in the UK market.
