I would hope that they are not so one-sided as to only value their clients wishes, but who knows?

If you play your cards right, this could be a great way to build equity and add value to the property.

Back home I would make a packet for my appraiser and never had a bad appraisal due to the that I specified the value add and the Reno amount and broke it down so they saw the potential and it always worked.  

Go straight into focusing on creative finance, subject to, and minimal cash down deals and build from there.I want to hear your thoughts on what direction to take here if you were in my shoes given these constraints (full time job and a few thousand saved) and you want to optimize for passive income first, then value appreciation?

I'll send you a private message to discuss the area further and how, if possible, I can bring any value to you or work together on something.

My husband and I have personally flipped, built, and own rental properties, so we understand firsthand how critical it is to not only maintain good tenant relationships but also to protect and enhance the value of your asset.

This kind of community is designed to attract certain individuals that share the same values for the outdoors, smaller living, and a healthy community. 

We purchased the land all cash, and financed the rebuild of the community How did you add value to the deal?

Look for properties with high cash flow potential, good condition, and room for improvement, such as value-add opportunities.
