The national RE data companies are less complete and have less search features.

****I've been monitoring BP for a few months now and it's very encouraging to see so many people exchanging experiences, ideas, and encouragement with one another.

They encourage appraisers to work areas that are unfamiliar to the appraiser then they seem to encourage low ball appraisals (or high ball appraisals at other times) instead of objective information.Frankly what I did when this happened to me was to threaten to report the Appraiser to the National body that governs appraisal issues (I forget the name).

If you come up with questions as you are reading the older posts, use the search feature to find more information on those subjects.

That is not to say, if the chain is broken it can not be fixed but likely a situation as a newbie you should avoid.Other features will be file specific.

Take into account adding or reducing the value of features such as number of cars in garage, exterior make up, and age of home as a comparison too!

That's to encourage them to pay on time.

I'm thinking about testing the market on my own at first, the home has some attractive features and is located in a desirable neighborhood.

John - I have seen the same in terms of fees being lower than 20%, and also would encourage investors to run quickly away from any portal that is not a licensed broker dealer.It is my understanding that filing for exemption under Reg A is almost as cost and labor intensive as registering with the SEC - let me know if you've seen otherwise.

I don't have any before or after pictures yet, but this is such an awesome new feature.
