I was unlucky enough to have both appraisal companies have policies against using comps West of Genesee St (180ft away).Appraiser comp: July 2013 .55 mi NE, $36k cash sale in a part of town with higher crime.West Comp: 3/31/14 under .2 mi W sold for $90kWhen asked about redlining, they say houses to the west are not considered comparable sales.

I've purchased some turnkey properties in West Price Hill area.
