You wouldn't sleep in the middle of savannah, exposed to all the animals and harsh conditions with assumptions that lions, wolves and coyotes are your friends.

Comps for appraisal disputes typically need to be more similar (size, condition, bed/bath count), more recent, and /or closer in location than the comps used. 

You might need to take out a repair loan (like an FHA 203(k) loan) as part of your refinancing if the home’s condition will affect its appraised value

If it's in a good location, and the property is in great condition, you could furnish the house and operate as an MTR.

I kind of saw same in terms and conditions.

Steam cleaning myself (many times) I  was able it to get it back to usable condition and it lasted for one more tenant.

My property manager was diligent with picking the right tenant, which I appreciated, but that comes with really narrowing down a pool of applicants that would have been okay in the short term.I am trying to decide what is best right now and getting them rented out would make sense, but my problem is the lack of funds I currently am facing to rehab them to get them back to rent-ready condition and the monthly mortgage really hindering my ability to save up for these rehab funds.

You can average the amounts or use the higher $29,000 figure if it reflects market conditions, as long as you document your methodology and provide evidence, such as sales data or an appraisal.

You can still have 2 FHA loans although specific conditions must be met. 

I was surprised when the agent consulted the seller despite my offer being lower than expected, given the property's condition.
