House has gone up in value, bought for 60k, now easily worth 90k.

Wear out a pair of shoes, walk and talk those areas and introduce yourself.All you young'ns out there are getting too caught up in technology, real deals in your area are made with people, again, get face to face.Analysis has a place in RE, but you can get bogged down in irrelevant data.

Lenders have guidelines based on decades of historical data, they anticipate future concerns more than simply looking at the borrower's picture on any Tuesday.
