Thanks Jay,As I mentioned in my reply to Caleb.Influencing an appraisal is a walk in the park.If you buy cash or even with finance it doesn't matter.Find the right people who's ethics are through the roof and that have a proven track record.I'll take it as far and say that even if a turnkey company sells you a property for more than what it's worth.As long as they are willing to go along for the long haul ride, then you are good.There are too many operators that will just flog the product and disappear soon after.Turnkey real estate is about cashflow.If you want fat equity in a deal or a "Deal Of The Century" type property.Don't buy turnkey and do the work yourself.Just my opinionThanks again mate
