Look at what you did wrong/other people did right, make adjustments and have more reps!

Just get the folks who finance these rolling and ask for an adjustment for the already wasted cash.

Hey Simon,I'm building a tool that does pretty much what you describe, to automate what I'm doing in spredsheets.http://www.reikit.com/compsIt uses zillow/google maps data for lookups, but I use it with my own comps that I got from my realtor, then I run my own adjustments to get an accurate ARV.It's still early days, but check it out and let me know what you think.  

You have to understand what goes into their report like the condition adjustment scale, quality of construction sale, how to pull the proper comps for the property (which can be different comps from actually valuing the property), how to value certain features in comps with the appraisal in mind, knowing what features can created price adjustments and which ones don't.

You all check out the "South Coast Rail" project to keep up to speed with what's going on with the rail.

My estimate does include a 75% occupancy rate so it's adjusted to reflect the slower months. 

I'd be carrying a mortgage payment of about $800/mo (which I could afford if I happened to not have any tenants at a given time.Any thoughts or directions that you all could point me in to make sure I'm up to speed on what questions I should be asking during the showing and what kind of costs I might be looking to incur that I should be watching out for.Thanks BP members!

You can also refinance an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) into a fixed rate mortgage"Let me know if this helps at all!

So I have a Pine  tree that fell and broke my fence, but the main problem is that it has not completely fallen and the fence is holding the tree up at the moment and it is leaning over my neighbors house.So my problem is I called my insurance company they said they will send a adjuster to asses the damage but they stated  I need to call a tree company and have the tree removed and that I have to pay for the tree to be removed and they will re imbursed me.

When looking for a good buyers agent make sure they can work at the speed your clients will need them to work at ... that is why I got my license because I was tired of losing deals because I was waiting to either get in a property or to get the data I needed to run my numbers.
