I’m sure others here are also running into this issue, so any recommendations and referrals would be greatly appreciated!

@Jonathan Small government actions have led to an unprecedented 40% increase in the money supply, 50-year record inflation, record increase in interest rates, bank failures, credit tightening, CRE recession, housing affordability issues, mobility issues, inventory issues, and massive impacts to the world economies, every investment class, and our families, kids, and friends like never before. 

We were fortunate in that we didn’t have too many issues with crime.

Then you can avoid the self promotion issue. 

If you discovered the issue before paying for the appraisal that could hopefully save some costs (in case the appraiser is with the wrong AMC).Pre-vetting with the lender on rental history/AIRbnb/1007 as well as seasoning could help. 

An in-house attorney would focus on resolving issues efficiently rather than driving up fees with extra billable hours, which can happen with outside firms.That said, I’m questioning whether this is the best perspective.

Also, watch out for any litigation or construction issues that could lead to HOA fee increases down the road.Alternatively, you could consider a good deal on a single-family home or a 2-4 unit property.

Thanks so much.By the way, I have not met any investors that come to this issue, but I think there will be.

Issues 1) even garage conversion ADUs in single family zoned areas typically cost more to build than the value that they add.  

One small tip: keep your communication channels clear and open with your property manager.
