.- Listing agent for some ungodly reason allows the sellers to be present for the appraisal, and the listing agent ignored my friendly email saying to direct the appraiser to the buyer's agent should the appraiser contact you, and then the sellers say something stupid in the presence of the appraiser about $50k of deferred foundation maintenance.

Maybe someone else can comment on their experience in an area with a large military presence. 

What we and others have seen happening is the sellers encounter the IRS over one or more issues, often the 8300 reporting rules which they enforce, and they examine for the presence of other compliance issues.

Now its 2016; Praise God.

Thank god for business and investments!!

Only difference is many of these investors are well established in this community, and often looking for a new income stream, while furthering connections, and helping others (something we'd all like to be able to do).In my opinion, you're in Katy, Texas, aka God's country haha.Question for the Texans.

That's why God invented calculators.

Thank god I don't rely on them for my investing strategy.
