Andrew,From what I understand, Chattel Appraisals do not include a site visit and are not recognized by the IRS.

In fact, I am not sure an HML will front this much cash unless you have a proven track record.

If you are doing fix and flips you have to be careful because when you buy the property the value is X and by the time you fix it up and try to sell it the value is X - Y because of the foreclosures are used as comps.Here in Jacksonville, FL, our property appraiser does not recognize foreclosed sales, because the two parties did not get together to create a sale.

Recognize this and do it anyway.Take Nike's Advice..........JUST DO IT!

Yes, this meduim is key for us all.Especially when it comes to the Real Estate Business.. we all need to save our time and reduce the stress and the fact that we need to travel from one place to an other..I succeed with my "buy/sell cheap lands" using proven to work Internet tactics..

Most of my time right now is spent studying how to recognize opportunities and analyze deals.

I think one of the main things that would make than's or anyone elses courses worth buying are for the proven direct mail pieces and the software.

However, that is the average over hundreds of thousands of units and has proven to be correct with EVERY SINGLE PERSON that has posted the numbers on this forum so far, when all expenses were included.So, Jason, what are you arguing here?

The days of working your butt off and being rewarded and recognized by the company are over.

I don't know how but now the Chicago Association of Realtors is using our site and I called the folks there who didn't know my name, but recognized my site instantly.
