I'm not convinced those all-in-one suites could do much better than what I can do with my knowledge, and capabilities with searching via the MLS and tax records.

If you can prove that she missed one or two key pieces of data, you may be able to get the whole thing thrown out or a review of the entire report.Unfortunately, at this point, it's an uphill battle -- appraisals are tough to fight once they've been sent to the lender, as the appraiser will have to admit s/he made a mistake or missed something in order to get it changed.

They had no financial incentive for finding someone so it wasn't like they were going to do it.It's hard enough dealing with squabbles between tenants in different units, but I don't want to be called upon for people who are fighting about doing the dishes or leaving toilet seat up.Also, when damage is caused in common areas, there's no way to prove who did it.

What this forces into the equation is a serious and capable buyer stepping up because the deal is a bit rigid for a newbie or fly by night.

I have a feeling this time, they're out of options (to pay my rent) and are ready to fight to the end, so I want to start the process as early as possible.
