@Pat L asked the tough question about how the tenant got past the screening process, although people can be good actors (hey, I'm in L.A.).While I could recount tales of tough evictions, I think the main takeaways that other landlords and would-be landlords ought to consider is:1) The incredible unforeseen waste that eviction creates for the investor that can be minimized by effective upfront screening;2) If eviction becomes necessary, not to get all tied up emotionally with the tenants' responses and just keep moving forward.

Well maybe not... to pain ful to recount.

Roughly 6 million as of my last recount of the data.

I can painfully recount every time we've rented to a friend or family member and it's never worked out in our favor, no matter how great the relationship was to start.

I want a recount.

I actually recounted and tallied up over 70 inquires about the property. 

And I'm not fear mongering, just recounting what I see daily happen to my  clients and the types of people I've run into myself.

... or perhaps that's just how it was recounted after the trek north ;-)

The comp that has the smallest gross % change is the most similar to the subject property and the adjusted value for that comp should be used as your FMV.I'm not a licensed appraiser, just took a damn good class on it and am hoping my memory serves me well in recounting the main points.

The BiggerPockets community came out in full force and I will not begin to try and recount all of the incredible people and conversations.
