And If I ever feel it waning, I know 10 minutes talking to you and hearing your energy will solve that. ^^ Thanks to you and the whole Ohio Cashflow Team for all your support. 

Hopefully one day I too could "train the new and influence the old" as it pertains to REI.

I base my offers on the park solely and what they paid has no influence on my asking price, just nice to know in the back of my head that they may take less.3)  Banks. 

An appraisal is just ONE person's OPINION of value and that opinion can easily be influenced by the seller or wholesaler.

This violates basic supply/demand and common sense.This apparently common view people have of the area seems to be overly influenced by media headlines, misunderstanding basic economics, and not understanding more complex economics that actually drives investment demand.

I don't let it influence my buying decisions to any extent.

A wholesaler who intends to double close will indeed be purchasing the property from the selling institution, and as such, will need to have the funds to complete that transaction.Therefore, the buyer should have the same proof of funds that any REO purchaser would have; the addition of a second contract to the end-buyer has no influence on the necessity of the wholesaler to have proof of funds...and those funds...available.As for simultaneous closes, that's a different story, and I don't know enough to support a claim of legality nor illegality for those types of transactions.

Another illustration of the ignorance and incompetence by elected officials to proactively address these problems:  https://infogram.com/waning-construction-1h0n25xgryoo4pe3.

He now knows exactly what is going on and can use whatever influence he has to ensure that the community stays up to par and he retains the value.

When you're looking for comps and value, how much of an influence is there between proximity to the house you're looking at, the property specs, and what you can do to it?
