I could change my oil and do all of the basic maintenance on my car as well, I just prefer to pay someone to have it done right the first time.That's just my $0.02, I've seen good and bad experiences, go with your gut and let us know how it goes!

@Cara Lonsdale Agreed.

@Cara Lonsdale - I think your way of thinking is a lot more along the lines of what I have experienced in the past@Tom Parris - I never thought she was doing anything wrong, and have been happy with the service thus far, I think I am just more used to a bit more direction, but I appreciate your feedback, and totally hear what you are saying.

@Cara Kennedy My family has a similar size campground near Pigeon Forge, TN that we are thinking about selling.

My last post asked about using your car as a tax deduction as a real estate agent, and most everyone had their own view on it but then ended their comment with “talk to your CPA.”

Mortgages are 5% now and Us treasuries yield over 3%, anyone who doesn't understand what those are and how treasuries affect all assets has no business discussing home valuations.An appraisal means nothing, I had to get an appraisal to insure my exotic car a few months I, I wanted a $140k valuation, which is what I paid, they gave me $200k, how/what/why I don't know and I don't care.

@Cara Lonsdale I do want to be involved, very much so.

I like the point Cara Lonsdale makes, buy properties with tenants already in place.

Originally posted by @Cara Lonsdale:I would factor the cost of the damaged items (drawers and shelves) and charge them for that. 

@Cara Lonsdale that's an interesting idea.
