******************************Ok, here are my typical approaches to a complex assignment.1) determine the most important value characteristics within my subject market (location, school district, # of units, size, lot size, bedroom/bath count, remodeled, new build, specific style, other amenities, etc.)2) research available comparable sales (with those important characteristics found above) within the designated market area3) in the absence of recent good comparable sales, I will expand my search back in time, even 5 years (or more) if need be.

If you do this you can potentially include a higher security deposit but you want t make sure to follow state laws about that.I understand that people may be improving their credit due to life circumstances.

It has been recently upfitted & modernized to become a unique getaway (AirBnB) filled both with character & luxurious amenities for guests to stay both in style & comfort.

I invest in Monthly T-bills.
