Well on the eastside where Mr Taylor is talking about are lawyers, doctors, college professors, mid to high level executives, and athletes ( Packers / Brewers / Bucks ).With that said, I believe its resident living versus vacation property.I would suggest you have a list of completed work to property for the appraiser.www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/81768-how-does-an-appraisal-get-above-compswww.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/78936-what-the-heck-is-going-on-with-appraisers

I use the analogy of "Be a Doctor" with the seller.Follow the three-part sequence of [b]examination, diagnosis and prescription.

What might work for some will not for others based on their situation and goals.For instance many doctors simply buy things to reduce their tax base.They also form syndications to buy big properties in a group.For them they are already making a ton of cash and just want reduced taxes as the primary and the other items are secondary but still important.There are many people on this board that specialize in different types of real estate.For instance I couldn't tell you jack about buying industrial or office properties because it's not what I do.Why do you want to invest in real estate should be the first question??

A job on the other hand can be high paying but if you don't show up for work there's no income; think of doctors and lawyers and contractors/spec remodelers who are swinging hammers and running projects day-to-day.But either as a business or as a job spec remodeling is not an investment.

We have several rooms and units we rent to international students and post-doctorate fellows.    

We had to call the doctor himself and demand they have this removed.

When I would call a repairman to come to my own private home and they see the house I lived in, they asked If I was a doctor or a Lawyer, and I said no, I’m a landlord.

This will vary by state law but I believe LLPs are for professionals like attorneys, doctors etc.
