(gated community).

welcome Jak and congratulations you seam to have come out the gate running.The smart thing is that slowed down to ask questionsthat's good ,you are in the right place.

Just because a home is 2,000 square feet, 15 years old, a one level ranch style of average to above average quality, does not give license to the appraiser to a property in a gated community near a golf course and club house, to another in an open tract subdivision three doors down from a school.

I live in a single family guard gated community in Las Vegas.

Later, I learned accounting and met other in construction and real estate that further sparked my interest.I can't really say that what Donald Trump, Bill Gates or others like them ever did made any meaningful impact in my life.

To Bill Gates it might be global technological domination.In my case it has been the development of a business plan to privately fund the construction of billion dollar professional sports facilities without the use of public resources.2.

Y'all are out of the gate into some bigger deals already.

In Long Island you will bid on a ton of REOs and short sales, and you will never hear back and when you really investigate you find out your offer was dead right out of the gate because somebody else had already bid on top of you.My friend just bought a house in suffolk and it was crazy when he was shopping around, he'd find all these properties he was interested in, check them out, 9/10 times he'd offer list price, and not even get a call back.buy and hold is tough on LI because taxes are sky-freaking-high.

No wonder some people think that one would need a license to tak pics of a house.

After all, you're pretty young to be getting started, but you're way ahead of 99% of your peers.I bet people used to needle Bill Gates, too.
