Makes sense with the inflation of prices and possible overvalue.Thanks for the reply @Samantha Reeves it was one your articles I found listing the requirements, but I think there was also mention of appraiser discretion which led to my question.  

Just to give you an idea of how inflated pricing is, we paid $124k for a 4 bed, 2 bath, 1820 sf, detached 2 car garage, bi level home in 2014.

Secondly, as an investor-focused agent, I would avoid sharing any deals from a wholesaler that is inflating the market that way for a "quick" deal.

The projected sales prices for the condos were highly inflated and not realistic.  

The pros hammered me on one point that I'll share with you: inflation.

That doesn't even catch up to inflation.

I think the real question is how long can they sustain their inflated commissions?

I still need to pay them market value for it, the market is inflated, I would still need enough down payment left over to find myself a place to live.Another part of me wants to liquidate EVERYTHING and let them buy/sell as they please.

Say there's hyper inflation and in 10 years $1 is worth $2.

However, I find the attorney's that represent the HOA's often grossly inflate their fees for overseeing the lien collection.
