Hi, this is another aspect of investing in real estate that, to me, is just another number crunching game that has little influence on a buy decision.

As for going to the post office to rectify the situation, I would request to speak to the actual Postmaster or a Supervisor, as they will have the most accurate information, as well as the most influence over the situation.I know this is probably an overly long explanation, but I hope it helps.

Scott pointed out.Finally, I still put forth that the market influences are dominated more by forces outside the industry (jobs, interest rates, Wall Street...)Google Senator Phill Gramm and the Glass-Steagall Act.

I would tend to believe that investors can have a positive influence on prices when they take some of the worst homes and turn them into places fit to live in.

Most of my students notice an immediate gain in influence once they've got their website up and running.

Marc, Glad to hear there are some positive influencers here.

The only problem I see in todays market is that not everyone in a farm can sell to us whereas if I were a Realtor taking listing then most would qualify..There is great residual income in marketing to your center of influence...

NOTE: We'll save a discussion on awards for another day . . . these should and would be reflective of the new influence system

Case Shiller tracks valuations by City.Should the Case Shiller Index continue to have such a big influence on the media and residential real estate market in general?

Danny the best return on investment is your COI.A lot of people dont like marketing to their center of influence however from a return standpoint it is the best.Short of that I have experienced great ROI success with Infomercials and full page color newspaper ads...
