Pay attention to time lines and due dates for filing a protest.Think of all the problems with the property: too much traffic noise, too far away from the freeway entrance, close to flood zone, old tree may fall on it, poor sun exposure.

I just don't want to waste my time and take unnecessary risk of exposure.

While Zillow has good exposure to the market, $40+ per month for an ad seems a little steep to me.

This is why all appraisals are contingent on a marketing time frame for instance "$100k with an exposure time of 3 months".

@Derrick StClair, Hey Derrick - have you already spoken with a tax attorney about all of your exposure on the inheritance?

I have lightened the C class assets over last year so my exposure there is less.

It’s thin for that level of house but you would learn a lot and you don’t have too much exposure, as you pointed out.

I learned about easements and how to read title reports as part of my education.My husband and I looked at a property in Roslyn, WA - the town where Northern Exposure was later filmed, if anyone remembers that old TV show.  

Massive exposure for your income property.  

You can't have hundreds of thousands (or more) die due to exposure, lack of hospital space, and no government response.
