We used to pick up a couple of great properties a year from each county until everyone & his TV addicted REI cohorts bid beyond intelligent margins.

I would send an email to the state Atty generals consumer affairs officestating in the email you are CCing the title company, selling agent, listing agent and your mortgage company I would do the same with every local radio and TV station as well as all of the big networks.  

It also makes you think about the false lifestyle that is portrayed on TV and this book sets you on a new path.2) The Millionaire Real Estate Investor by Gary Keller - This book will cover all the fundamentals of real estate investing.

An appraiser is trying to compare apples to apples and nothing else.

We all hear about those great rates being advertised on TV, the radio, and those annoying ads on any social media platform because EVERYONE is tracking you.

Apples and oranges. 

@Andrew Kiefer  I think your talking about apples and oranges when you ask about 2-4unit and 5+unit builds.

Hi Napat,Make sure you are comparing Apples to Apples.For instance is the Contractor going to use Owens Corning Synthetic Underlayment, or X mil plastic sheeting or tar paper, or nothing because he believes (for instance) hail damage is less with nothing under the shingles, and the Ownes Corning guy is going to use the Owens Corning Synthetic Underlayment (???)

If it would support being a living area (dry all year round, decent height ceilings) maybe make it into a TV room or a 2nd living room with some faux stone, apartment carpet and 2nd hand mirrors from over old dressers.

so if i sell apple stock and make 15K in profit, would it be a wash?
