I would like to add that local MLS systems (some) have a feature that you can search short sales.

2) Even the lenders who have pre-approved me and agreed to carry this through the loan process have told me that due to the unique features of this property there is no guarantee that an acceptable appraisal can be obtained to substantiate the loan.

Are there any key selling features which need to be accounted for- due to tastes in that local area?

And first/foremost if I do get the right comps "if they're wrong; I don't wanna go against his number.

Make sure to utilize the "search" feature on the site to gain access to past forum posts on a given topic.Best,AG
