But we live in an imperfect, often overly-litigious world where many people have problems with alcohol and could be triggered or even be at risk of ending their hard-fought sobriety by the unexpected presence of a bottle in their living space.

Hi James, that’s a good point about the algorithms being imperfect.  

@Dwayne Jones Appraisals are one of the most frustrating parts of my business - but it is an imperfect science and a lot of it is based on personal judgement, so I understand it.

You want to prep the surface, fill in imperfections, High build primer, and aacrylic finish.

Free market is imperfect & gets abused.

But I I would look into rigid core vinyl plank...if your floor is not too bad you can float it over and the imperfections do not telescope through.

We are purchasing the property for $1,050,000 and doing $250K worth of work to it, hence the aquisition price of $1.3mil, but then the loan amount changes, so this is an imperfect analysis. 

Even if the imperfection is minor, or even it's impossible to notice, they still can't sell it at full retail.

After you prime, then you really inspect the walls and hit with another coat on any imperfections to avoid this.Do you agree?

Its clearly a DIY job as the reno has a lot of imperfections.
