Hi Everyone, I'm getting ready to have my Seattle, WA BRRRR appraised in a few days. (link to old thread here... https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/46...)

Its been rented since June and I'm now going for my final refi to get a more standard long term mortgage.

There are many similar comps in the area in regards to sqft / beds / baths / home type / etc, however none which are renovated. I'm concerned this will likely bring down my appraisal (especially because I'm at the lower end of the sqft spectrum, 950sqft / 3br / 1ba).

Does anyone have experience putting together an info sheet for the appraiser in order to bump them in price? I put together the below info sheet / pics, and at the bottom a list of 5 comps. My goal with stating (in the below sheet) that I expect to appraise at 350-360k is that it anchors the mindset of the appraiser, so that even if they go below it wont be too far off. Is this a good or bad idea? Love to hear your thoughts...

Here's the spec sheet I put together....
