[As an aside, Gary & Chad, these sorts of questions arise frequently enough that I'm toying with the idea of creating a sticky thread or a series of blog posts covering the various aspects.  

Doing your on ties you deeper into any future claims arising as you orchestrated the  sale, your claims, the transfer, assignment, took the money and split!

Is there a way to search for the most popular posts on the forums? 

With their less-than-elite healthcare, and the shabby border control between the US and Mexico, what situations do you see arising?

But for the differences that arise in each property (ie. a porch, updated kitchen, pool, etc.) how do you know what to add/subtract in order to come up with an accurate comp?

Our most popular patterns are White Marble, Travertine, Copper Patina, Black Galaxy, and Soapstone.

I realize this is not going to be a popular perspective in a forum full of people trying to make their pockets bigger (pun intended) but I'd consider how many successful people you know who are miserable.

I purchased a small studio condo in DC a couple miles away from downtown and a 5 minute walk from a popular metro line.It has been my primary residence, but I'll soon be moving out and I'd like to make it my first rental property.

This is another example of why title insurance is 'popular' although inter family transfer are rarely insured.

Such popular areas and some of the lowest taxes on the Cape (only Chatham and Orleans have lower taxes than Dennis).Disclosure: I live in West Dennis and love it!
