Great explanation @Michael Ealy!

Mortgage appraisal reports are written for people like him, and so very often certain things go unsaid because it is expected the intended user of the report (the lender, not the borrower) understands many things without needing explanation.

Caution.These are very valid points and the reason I stated above to check in with the city and the foundation repair company to ensure a proper explanation and that the repairs were done first rate and not some secondary solution.

I cannot guarantee that you will find the same deal in your geographic area but I will do my best.

It's just 'Geographically Weighted Regression'.

Frankly speaking we just don't have the population dynamics or the geographic constraints that it would take to produce a true PoP investment strategy like you can find in Tier 1 metros or quickly growing 2nd and 3rd tier metros with geographic barriers.To illustrate this, I would recommend driving down each street between NW 10th and NW30th, from May to Classen and back. 

Regards to working with multiple agents, agents work exclusively on commission and while we do have geographical preferences, the market is such that one in the Greater Boston area would be able to deliver a satisfactory service to you no matter where you go.

Many investors are using one-page assignment contracts with minimal explanation of what they are attempting to do.

If it's within my geographical area that I am targeting, I make an offer.
