Hope the wedding planning is going smoothly.I'm really not familiar with google adwords, but I do think FB ads have tons of untapped potential because people are scared of the "algorithm" and sort of just throw money at a boosted post and hope for the best. 

When you are an investor in these deals, you are either a limited partner that has no direct influence on the execution of the deal (i.e. just providing capital to make the deal work) or a general partner that is responsible for executing the deal.The risk in executing these deals and making a profit are laid upon the general partners.

And you can also get on the HOA and try to influence matters yourself assuming you have the time. 

Hopefully, the decision boosts both economies.

Having said that:This property is listed as a 3BR in Lawrence, IN, but was once a 4BR so the ARV is boosted to reflect the extra bedroom.

To address that, I am exploring additional income streams that will boost income for my properties. 

We might eventually move there, and that has influenced me to a small extent to look at Austin. 

It's hard for me to call myslef a real estate investor at this point, once I have several deals under my belt and a bit more 1st hand knowledge I'm guessing I'll have a boost in my self esteem.

It does, however, mean that a lot were when refi's and sales were at such a high volume that the lenders were not even looking at the appraisal for the most part.Getting back to the role of the lender -- all lenders are subjecting appraisals to close scrutiny, first applying certain measurements to the basic facts, and then sending it to appraisal review when it does not meet the standards of these new guidelines (and they do not meet them A LOT right now.)It doesn't matter what the realtor feels it is worth or sometimes even what the buyer is willing to pay, unless they have deep pockets to put down a larger down payment to make up the difference they cannot finance -- the lender will have tremendous influence over the value simply because they control the purse strings.

They need to understand that they are getting immediate relief from their mortgage payments, you will boost their credit score and it would not make sense if you did not make the payments, because you don't make money until you sell the house.
