These include the appraised value established by the appraisal district for the county in which the property is located...In Wichita Falls, where I think @Matt Ellis is marketing, the tax appraisal is a pretty good guess of the retail sale price of non-distressed properties. 

i think most people will tell you the most important part is actually getting the property under contract, the rest can fall into place.  

Mold probably is not going to kill you.I suppose it could be falling beams, too.  

The Homestyle program could be a fall back if you can get the seller comfortable with the idea.

I do not need anyone right now, and realize the summer is the busiest season, but am trying to build a list of contacts that I can turn to for future projects that will be coming up in the fall/winter and potentially next spring.Would welcome referrals even if they are busy now.

This is my personal biggest falling with my web site.The rest is window dressing, in my somewhat humble opinion.

Small food service and motels have the highest fall out rate that I know of......folks think...how hard can it be?

I had that down, so the rest (appreciation, rents, etc.) would all magically fall into line. 

Some people in NY also want a vacant policy to cover the premise liability (claims not arising out of construction) ie a slip and fall.

Especially since we are heading into the fall and (theoretically) there will be fewer buyers in the market.
