@Dave Skow does washing Appraisals hobby the conditions of the property like California or more off the square foot like in the south ?

I am also considering coin-op, but the machines are so expensive, and kind of an inconvenience. 

@Sean Howell so far all on the MLS but it has surprisingly stayed very competitive through Covid, working on building the off market lead machine now so hopefully we will start seeing a good mix moving forward

But if you walked on the lot, and a salesman brought you a cup of coffee, had you're car washed while you were looking around, followed you around like a puppy, while constantly fact dumping, while tossing in little polite, considerate questions about your family, you would have a far easier time telling him bluntly "nope... no 350z, I have 6 kids so we should look at the minivans...." 

I needed to caulk, trim paint and the biggest thing was pressure washing the rear deck because the previous tenant had potted plants on it for 4 years... a bit of a pain because it's a very humid environment down here so wood rot is prevalent.     

When looking at the deferred maintenance before purchasing, we had calculated a lot of the big ticket items (like insulation in attic, power washing repointing brick cracks, etc.) and we had even included things we could see like missing doors.

Since you don't drive a car looking through the rear view mirror, a list of cities ranked by cumulative returns is only so useful, but then it was fun to play around with regressions, tress, and some machine learning models to see what has driven cumulative returns.

Are there any title company in Fl that will help with closing in Wash.

The kicker was he said they were good after I fixed them, never knowing if I ever did as I know for a fact he never showed up to the property to confirm.

My personal favorite thing all this panic has brought about is all the advertisements about washing your hands.
