Therefore, I recommend everyone still verify in your own states what lenders can offer you.I know most people will derive their opinion off the national news however.

For example: If I search within a 0.5-mile radius, but the rental listings or recently leased properties differ significantly from mine in terms of condition, amenities, or layout, how can I still derive an accurate rental estimate?

.- I do not know how you derived your property tax estimate, but it is common for it to increase upon a property transfer. 

However, I do have to admit that I do derive great pleasure when TDS causes liberals/progressives/ leftists to go off the deep end! 

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived,…” 16th Amendment to the US ConstitutionOur elected representatives then gave the IRS authority to tax “income” (not business activity.)

This tax is assessed on income derived from the leveraged portion of the real estate owned by the IRA, and also applies on the sale of leveraged property in an IRA.

I am confident price is your issue especially if you are deriving the price off a poor comp (smaller unit, etc) and then applying arbitrary adjustments.  

Talk to a competent CPA.BTW, the real value is not derived from saving a management fee. 

IMO: It looks like regulators were asleep at the wheel here, just like they were concering the big banks and derivative providers like AIG.Whew, ok background done….

Now I have a completely separate question (that derives off the above scenario)...
