With an adjustable rate mortgage it is not fixed and are at the mercy of the current economy.

@Ned Carey Thanks for the reply, I'm going to pull my list the re-adjust if necessary.

Doing this kind of work is labor intensive plus a lot of up front cost.

That said, it is possible to make adjustments on the sales comparison approach from data extracted from the income approach and the reverse holds true as well.As an example, let's say there weren't enough data to show what buyers would be willing to pay for a 3 car garage house versus a 2 car garage house (in this example assume everything else is identical).

Blocking a view would be downward adjustment, but not all have lake views.

Is is truly a good investment that providers superior risk-adjusted returns

This made the actual move and adjustment more like an adventure than a traumatic event.

If you can't present who you are, what problem you solve, and how you solve it in an intriguing way in less than 15 minutes that creates intrigue, you need to adjust how you present.

and rural parts of N cal.. like Yreka and the smaller towns in the Seirras I would not consider them hot.. but bouncing back to where you can actually sell something.Along with most of the mid west smaller market cities unless there is intense turn key activity.
