For example, if an appraiser has two equally valid comps that are $5K apart, why wouldn't you want to do whatever you could to encourage him to select the higher one.Like Vikram, I only have empirical data, but here's my experience -- for the first 5 properties I rehabbed, I never met the appraisers and appraisals were hit or miss.

I encourage you to work on that plan - it will deliver results long term that you will be very happy with.

Thank you for your response and encouragement!

It's encouraging to hear about the city's strong job growth and GDP percentage, as well as its pro-investor and landlord environment. 

In either case, if you call the employee listed on her voucher or annual renewal notice, they're usually happy to run the numbers ahead of time and let you know exactly what will happen, though they obviously wont encourage you to raise the rent over the limit even if they wont actually reject the increase. 

It’s both encouraging and inspiring.

@Karyn NavinIt is quite encouraging to learn about your interest in investing in real estate, especially in the market for short-term rentals (STRs).

Seek guidance from seasoned developers or real estate investors to obtain insightful advice and encouragement.

I am considering hiring a mediator to attempt to encourage him to move more quickly, or possibly firing him and finishing the rest myself or hiring another GC to finish the project.

I was also strongly "encouraged" to get an attorney.A local TN friend, who's an fabulous small-town attorney (like Matlock, only skinnier and not as tall) agreed to advise me.
