I've found some disturbing things on the web in regards to this.

Asbestos shingles aren't a problem as long as they're intact and aren't disturbed.

It disturbs me how the word "Recession" is thrown around like a fad by the media and/or analysts on TV.

you disturb up your tenants, usually with little notice, and then find out the "supervising appraiser" must come through again because the first appraiser was an apprasier "in training".

The second and more disturbing thing that you bring to light is the thought that the brokerage is not motivated to sell the property.

It's really disturbing how there are people like that; makes me not want to get my feet wet in the property rental.

This is disturbing in a few ways, primarily because people assume that these people are educated in all aspects of real estate and take their word to heart.

I never have figured out who screws up when that happens but you wind up disturbing tenants twice and looking stupid to boot.

There is the Sales Comparison Approach which is based on similar recent sales, the Cost Approach which is based on a value of the land and the cost to replace the existing improvements minus depreciation, and the Income Approach which is based on market rents and a Gross Rent Multiplier which is detemined through market research.Your other statement that banks will appraise the property right around the sale price even if the price is 200 and it's worth 500 is really disturbing.

Just to add what Ty put, it's pretty common to have this with rental property that is rented as they don't want to disturb the tenants with every potential person who is interested in the property...
