Quote from @Alex Bekeza: Based on current market conditions I think we could all use a "talking to" from DAVID GOGGINS or Cam Hanes, He'd whip us into shape for sure

thank you to you all for the input. the market here is ok, it does not grow in any big way due to the property taxes in new york. i have been told a couple of times that the market is hot here and if i relisted it, i would probably get more anyway. the first appraisal cam back at exactly what we settled on for the purchase price. then, after a couple of months of screwing around on the banks part, their VA appraiser totally screwed up the second appraisal, using inferior comps. how the hell can a house that appraised for $51,000 go down in value after you put on a new roof, a new furnace, a couple of new windows and vinyl facias???

As in Gatlinburg fires or CA earthquake or a FL SINKHOLE or some idiot installs hidden cams in your place, etc. 

Haven’t lived in CO for the 5 years I’ve been doing it so needed a way to allow folks in without being physically there also provide keys to maintenance folks, emergency contacts, HOA, etc.I bought this lock a while back and it has worked perfectly for meSchlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt.Schlage Encode Smart WiFi Deadbolt with Camelot Trim in Aged Bronze (BE489WB CAM 716) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HXNBWVV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VXSxFbZQM9AZ9The lock hooks directly up to your WiFi and doesn’t require an additional bridge connected via Bluetooth that then connects to WiFi.

Ring door cam?

@Theresa Harris so I did the inspection, and as I suspected the rabbit was gone. gee golly I wonder what they were doing when the ring cam recorded them pulling a vehicle into the garage that doesn't belong there. 

Once my inspection cam back there were a few minor issues with the property but I used the "all units roofs will soon need replaced" and dropped the price to $475,000.

Are there any benefits for a property management company to hold a CAM license in addition to a real estate license?
