The channel we originally were going with only takes the 1007 number - we tried to dispute the appraisal with supporting comps and the fact that the appraiser completely missed a bathroom but they wouldn't increase the 1007 amount.

The majority should know what a deal is for an investor, may have clients selling at discounts or at least have connections that can help an investor.

I added a Master Bedroom and Bathroom which required a Floodway Permit. 

It is a 3 bedroom with 1 bathroom. 1 bathroom I don't believe will be attractive to potential students.

Existing tenants = discount.  

For example look at the zip code you are building in, for a recent new build in columbus that we do since miami is expensive we pulled all these stats: Zip Code Statistics: 43206Housing Units Delivered: 8 Average Sale Price: 642,875Median Sale Price: 505,000Average Price Per Sq Ft: $316.40Average Square Feet: 2172 Sq FtAverage Bedrooms: 3.25Average Bathrooms: 2.75Average Days on Market: 138We design the house around this, around the lot, around the neighborhood, from scratch and try to pick a long term build design that will do well.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.

Here’s the scoop on the property:Property Details:Built in 2021: Modern and low-maintenance.4 Bedrooms (Convertible to 5): Flexible layout.2 Bathrooms: Great for families or multiple tenants.Turnkey Rental or Primary Home: Ready for investors or as a family home.Location: Just 10 minutes from the University of Riverside.Vacant: Ready to move in right awayMortgage: VA loan @2.5 percent interest rateWhat I’m Looking For:Realtor Recommendations: I need a realtor who knows their stuff with creative financing—seller financing, lease-to-own, etc.

Another way is the BRRRR method—buy a rundown multifamily unit at a discount, fix it up, rent it out, and refinance to buy more.

However, the upstairs bathrooms aren't remodeled and they didn't say anything about that.
