@Duncan Taylor can you give us an exact example of how this data would lead to influencing a decision you would make; or even better, it making the decision for you?

If I did the pricing or I had strongly influenced the agent for the pricing, I'd blame it on myself.

The location is the biggest influence on the price.So for example, if the house has a n ARV of 1.5m and needs a rehab of $100,000 the 70% rule would make your MPP = 950,000.

I know of several HOA's in CA who have negotiated discounted payoffs of past-due balances & liens after 1+ year of non-payment.I think part of this depends on the size of the HOA, and honestly, whoever is the "dominant" member on the Board, coupled with the influence exerted by the professional property manager (this is all often influenced by the number of units under the HOA.)

I think these properties would appeal to women much more than the "average" house and I'm a big believer in women having a lot of power and influence when it comes to house buying.

If you come to great forums like this one, focus on pursuing your education, and make sure to surround yourself with positive influences, you will be able to replace all of that fear with confidence.

Everyone should read the book,"How to win friends and influence people"By Dale CarnegieThis is concept is the basis for the book and he illustrates it amazingly.

Folks, please be very cautious of taking advice from a poster on BP with such a huge negative influence level and from somebody who has such a limited amount of contributing activity to the site over a long period of time.Add to that the due diligence that has uncovered the original posters inability to make wise investment decisions, you should be very cautious as to what advice you take from such a person.

Though the people he is influenced by to not.

I've left her voicemail this morning and she'll probably call me back when her hangover wanes a bit :roll:
