The BPO providers sending the report in are what the bank considers "non-biased" meaning they were paid a nominal fee such as 75 bucks or so to complete an interior BPO.They give more weight to the BPO report than anything a buyers agent, sellers agent, or the buyer and seller say.

This will cause them to get top heavy and they’ll either fall over because the root ball can’t handle the added weight, or they’ll just snap under the extra pressure.All this I envisioned happening to the roofs and power lines around these vacant houses as I lay cuddled up in my warm bed.Since we had no tenants, all we could do to protect these properties was get faucet covers on the spigots, make sure the heat was on and pray that a pine tree didn’t snap and cause the power to go out.
