Be sure you are comparing apples to apples when others are quoting you a specific cash return number.I hope this is helpful, and I'm glad to get on the phone and chat in more depth.

I suppose there will always be bad apples like in any other industry.

DMM is dying, CC is for people that just don't know better.You don't see Apple, Nike, Samsung, do DMM, cold calling, or knocking on doors right?

Most of their ARVs are high and they claim to compare apples to apples but that is not how the appraisal game works. 

Thanks @Henri Meli  and big thanks to Seth Williams, Jaren Barnes and the RETipster blog and podcast.

Another point is that we should make sure we are comparing Apples to Apples.

On my first round of RFQ, I was seeing apples to oranges, then I sent them another round where I defined line items, it actually was higher, then I gave a third round with line item and max allowable price, then only one was interested. lol.

:As for animals I don't believe anyone should ever consider bringing their animals into a property they do not own unless it's a barn.

I think you are mixing apples and oranges here.
