I would think that if this credit card company mistake is all it takes for a bank to consider me a bad risk, then the banks haven't learned anything about making risky loans.

We had a group of 22 traders while I oversaw the firms risk management systems.

Anyone who doesn't farm an area runs the risk of not being organized and spending all their time running from one place to another and accomplishing little.

I mean...with 2-4 properties I think it's manageble....but how do I deal with this risk ?

It does not mean the appraiser is dishonest -- my guy will not risk his license.

I wonder if I can get some joint ventures there so that it will be a less risk for me to invest in a new place!!!

I don't think there is any cypress available here.I would not put wood shingle on a roof because of the fire risk, and I'd sure check with my insurance agent before I did the entire outside of a house with wood shingle.You can't hardly get insurance for a house with a shake roof, and I'd want some reassurance that there wasn't going to be a problem over the siding.There is a fire resistant manufactured siding that looks like wood shingles.
