If you live in a home or condo why is it that you can pay the mortgage there, but you can not visualize someone paying you a mortgage payment or a payment in general.Nike has a SLOGAN that says DO ITI agree with them until you do it you will not know whether or not real estate investing is for you.

Hi Kiki,I'm an appraiser in NC and typically only a visual inspection is done during the time an appraiser is at the house.

So being able to talk through your successes with the paper trail to demonstrate them can go a long way (include a few graphs or pie charts... a lot of bankers like visuals).

Sometimes you will get lucky and only inspect the plumbing or electrical but depending on their mood they start looking over other things and if they are visually apparent and obvious that it requires being up to code they will make you do the needful.

@Galen Dawes, thanks so much for the info, I am a visual person so I'd love to check out those web sights!

Below is their disclaimer, again I don't think I'd buy a property based solely on that.http://www.permitla.org/parcel/The purpose of this application is to allow easy access and visual display of city parcel legal and zoning information as a convenience to our customers.

I'm not visualizing it off the top of my head.

Alleviating depression (if depression is a symptom of the mental condition, or the condition itself) is a function of an emotional support animal and should satisfy the requirement.An animal with a history of dangerous behavior need not be accepted:[A] housing provider is not required to make a reasonable accommodation if the presence of the assistance animal would (1) result in substantial physical damage to the property of others unless the threat can be eliminated or significantly reduced by a reasonable accommodation; (2) pose an undue financial and administrative burden; or (3) fundamentally alter the nature of the provider’s operations.so they do point out that an animal with a dangerous history need not be accepted, but what good would that do as most of that 'history' would be after-the-fact (after the damage). afterall, that's what no-pet laws are in place for in the first place, to prevent physical damage, to prevent dog fights and dogs attacking and killing infants and the like. and there were already exceptions for disabled people such visually impaired, but now there are exceptions for any tenant that any physician, psychiatrist, social worker, OR other mental health professional says needs 'accomodation' for 'emotional support' in coping with disability 'symptoms'. wouldnt be suprised if medical 'pets' are the new medical 'mari-j' at this rate! 

Thank you for putting the visual proof on this thread.

I like to visualize savings in units of "beer"
