One of the main points it attempts to drive home with appraisers, is that each appraisal assignment is unique, and each assignment must be tailored to serve the valuation problem at hand and as a component of the valuation problem, the expectation of the user/client.

I had a friend drive by the house and confirmed that someone is in fact living in the home and took pics of the exterior for me.

I do have some experience with c class neighborhoods and rentals but they were all within an hour drive and we were very hands on both in property management and maintenance. 

I've been looking around in the central valley and Sacramento area since it's within a 2 hour drive.

If this has a drive thru as an example and no more drive thru's are allowed in the area.

You can drive neighborhoods in worcester where 1/2 of the house has a new roof, and the other 1/2 does not. 

@Cory Lucas keep your agent but start prospecting for deals on your own as well (direct mail, marketing, driving for dollars, networking, building a website and using SEO, Facebook ads, whatever you find works).

You could get some relief now to maybe do those improvements that drive traffic and he could see some upside later.

When driving around the greater Las Vegas area looking at 4plexs, I did see a good amount.

If it looked promising and I would drive out to the property, meet with the owner, etc before getting under contract.
