Take this as a lesson to ask for appraisal earlier in the year or fight the up hill battle against county government criminals?

I don't fight it and I don't "just move on".

Needless to say, I have been fighting that same battle.

So if it is legal to single out investors i will cave, I dont have the $ to fight them but will try to raise other investors to get this changed in my association IE. fire some of the board  

there are so many 2 family homes with all kinds of configurations there. the best you will be able to do is try and match the rest of the house, square foot, number of baths etc. you may be able to get away with a 6 bedroom house as a comp, 3 and 3. i know i am having the same trouble with a house i own in PA, its under contract but when they came back there was no exact comps to mine, we are in the process of fighting what the appraiser came up with right now, they came up with $38,000 under my list, but i know i priced it right based on price per square foot and whats in it, 2 family with 3 and and 1 bath each. try averaging what a 2 family sells for per square foot, that should give you an idea. then sell it to me for 100,000 less - just kidding, but you can let me know if you do decide to sell, I'm in the town next door.

It can be painful fighting with some long time owner that has nothing better to do than be on the HOA board.   4 hour long meetings can get old fast.   

Needless to say after doing everything I could after 2 and 1/2 years of fighting it off I filed.

I'm brand new to REI but am willing to work/fight/scratch/claw my way up from the bottom.

That questions sort of begs the question, why fight grandpa then?  

Fight through the pain!
