But now that I'm thinking about it, maybe they're not throw away leads.

Throw the little fishy back into the water. 

I know at times it can be rough but I am sure a rough start will throw people off and perhaps give up.

FHA is usually much tougher and most likely used the market approach and deducted for the bath......and one other comp could cause that.There are different reasons for appraisals, a client wanting one to find a market value could be for various reasons and can come in higher than for loan collateral purposes.Not good to pay for an appraisal as that makes you the client. it can't be used for anything else but for your purposes.You can pay a lender to order one and they can hold it "open", you advertise and throw in the appraisal cost allowing a borrower to go to that lender before it expires, if it does expire, you can have it updated.

Throw out some post cards to motivated sellers- no equity maybe. 

Hello Biggerpockets, Newbie investors here seeking all the knowledge and "QQUUIIICCKK TIPS" you can throw at us. 

We do a lot of construction in the Fairfield/Westport area although paying 1.3 for a lot is a bit out of our target market....think your best bet is to get a site survey(esp if you have wetland issues) and throw it on craigslist....this is a great time of the year to buy a lot in preparation for the spring market.

Once you get a good bid, you can figure out how much you want to spend in total, then make your offer based on that.If you just throw together a random offer and it sticks, you might not leave yourself enough budget for a complete rehab...or end up spending more than you want (depending on what youre qualified for)  

They are often the first to start "flaming" others.Many people or firms come to BP for an audience because they have something to sell.

If you want to throw a postcard in there as well.
