Good to see another Champaign County member.  I

From what I understand........The appraisal report itself can be re-certified, (or we used to be able to re-certify reports), which would be accepted by some lenders in some cases if the report itself is less than 45 to 60 days old but .......the actual comparibles are based on properties in the same area as the subject property, similiar to the subject property that have sold in the last 6 to eight months depending on the market........with all the turmoil and melting going down has it been changed to a 90 day window?.....

If you don't, you'll be relying on yourself to do showings, and since you're in CA I imagine that won't be possible, or someone to lease a house sight unseen

Seems there is something wrong with the system when a service member is made to move without warning and the landlord is stuck with the bill; not fair for them (although I understand it’s necessary), and certainly not fair to me as a new investor who is playing a long term game rather than getting immediate cash flow.

A lot of investors think appreciation is some mysterious metric that can not be relied upon. 

I would like to buy a piece that I could divide with a family member. I

Their responsibility is to maintain the unit so that it looks the best for showings so that it can be re rented quickly. 

Hi everyoneI'm a new member.  I

The HELOC is great for short-term money, that can be re-utilized.

You will be relying on them to help you make smart decisions.
