This includes comprehensive, theft , uninsured motorist, and I believe has a $500 deductible.

.*) Technically, this is essentially a comparative market analysis (CMA), but much more objective and comprehensive.

But note that these reports are rarely comprehensive and usually just focus on the main systems of the house.

C-Corp's have special considerations and should be weighed carefully to make sure they are appropriate to your purposes.It is essential to take a comprehensive view of your business entity plan.

I like to provide a comprehensive list showing all the work that has been done on the property since I bought it.If you are using a portfolio lender with an in-house appraiser, then the appraiser may give some weight to the rent component.

I'm also sharing a more comprehensive approach to finding capital and building an investor base if you are thinking long term which you should be.  

I think it's a good idea to get one as it is more comprehensive than the appraisal.

Just like any skill in life, learning how to manage your family's finances takes time and effort and they don't teach personal finance in school (which is beyond comprehension but that is a conversation for another post).My recommendation would be as follows:1 - Figure out your monthly burn rate (how much you spend)2 - Set aside liquid reserves equal to 6-12 months of your burn rate (more if you are self-employed, commission-based, have unstable work)3 - Contribute to 401k at least equal to the employer match4 - Research Roth IRAs and, if qualified, this may solve both investing excess funds and saving for children's education as Roth distributions can be penalty and tax free for qualified education expenses (and other qualified distributions)5 - Regarding what to invest the Roth, 401k, or a regular brokerage account in, you can learn how to come up with a diversified handful of low cost index funds (or ETFs) that are easy to purchase and manage.
