An appraiser will make an adjustment for size, but the adjustment will be much less than the overall $/sq.ft. based on sales price.You need to find houses that are in the same neighborhood, are the same style, have the same number of beds and baths, are close in size, and have similar finishes.

During the day I teach high school math (Pre-Calc & Geometry) and in the evenings I teach a class at the local community college.  

I'm a Texas native, born and raised in Houston, but have lived in Hawaii and the Philippines in my college and early teaching careers.My husband and I bought what we discovered was a fixer-upper back in 2012 and we've been slowly updating and renovating.

We next bought a SF house which we rented out when we went to work overseas, which wasn’t as good a money earner, but did teach us that we want to manage our own properties at this stage rather than turn things over to a PM.

Many of us including myself talk about our strategies, styles, niches and business model on our website.

So I then paid the $200 dollars to attend their 3 day teaching course.
