takeaways:
o cars are chattel
o all commissions are always negotiable
o real property loans are collateralised
o lender appraisals come in at or above contract 90% of the time
o personal property isnt real but that doesnt make it intangible
o in asset accounting chattel is fixed, & like cash & stock is tangible & real
o in property chattel is not fixed nor real & neither are cash & stock which are also intangible
