The appraisal for the house came in at $335 when we bought it, and we conducted what we thought, was an extensive inspection (including a separate termite inspection).

Hello everyone.My name is Mark Colburn and i'm a new member to BP.I bought my first property in Nov of 2011 and it was a multifamily side-by-side duplex.It was a bank owned property that we did an extensive renovation to including two new kitchens, two new bathrooms, new flooring, new paint, new water heaters, new vented bathrooms, tons of repairs to walls (was prior section 8) etc.All in all I spent about one year and $35K on the renovation.

You made extensive repairs to the house and had it ready for rent on July 5.

OTOH, I would try to select upgrades that are not trendy so they will not look outdated so soon.

It's a rowhouse, with a ground floor extension.

What search criteria do I select in Listsource to filter for 30, 60, and 90 days late mortgage payment (pre-foreclosure)?

It shows the "Owner 1 Label Name" on every address, "Owner 2 Label Name" on a lot of them next to the OWNER 1, and "Owner Care of Name" on a select few.

I asked if I could use the appraisal that was done two weeks ago and he said that banks can no longer request appraisers and instead have to assign appraisers randomly....so if the appraiser I used happens to come up when the computer makes its selection I can use the existing appraisal (which could be likely since there are only 5 or 6 active appraisal companies in town) I also asked about the option of just selling the property to someone else, and he said that a 90 day seasoning period is all that is required along with documentation of repairs.
