Having your vision and goals pressure tested is important to avoid confirmation bias, but that testing should be done by someone who, for all intents and purposes, should be listened to.

I was very impressed with the Mount Pleasant area.

You should not pay 70k for ~$650 in rent ($850 - HOA).I don't personally like anything with HOAs because I don't have control over when they are raised and each time they are cuts into your monthly cash flow and (double whammy) puts downward pressure on the asset value.The HOA doesn't cover any insurance?

BECAUSE, here is one more piece of ugly truth, while loan officers are forbidden from directly pressuring appraisers, there is nothing stopping the lender from going to the next appraiser when one of them comes in low too often AND that's exactly what happens all too often, right after the lender attempts to punish and mold the appraiser with a reconsideration of value request which by the way Chris, is illegal.
