Everything south west of Fairmount ave (art museum area) is phenomenal and you should have no problem reselling. 

Hi Art, Congrats on deciding to purchase a property. 

The best part being the "Art of the Deal"  Unless I have information that shows an offer will be totally rejected I say "Make An Offer"   Why would they not try to acquire the property themselves 'So what's wrong with it?'

Let's help each other make some profits.Thanks,Art

This is the true science and art of investing in anything.

I want to make sure my materials are paid in full in case he has a heart attack, gets hit by a bus, goes to jail, cuts his arm off doing chainsaw art, parachute doesn't open, etc.

My thoughts are below, but it would seem this is more of an art than a science.

I didn't want to have to pay the extra insurance and it's my first house so I want to kind of master the art before jumping in a second home.

Good comps are nearly irrefutable so if you have good comps and a decent lender to negotiate value using appraisers formulas for determining value you can almost always get the appraiser to come up or meet you near where "value," should be.This is where the science of appraisal meets the arts of persuasion.
