Probably, but a low appraisal will generally have a psychological influence on the buyer, and will tend to make them not want to purchase at the agreed upon price (they feel they are overpaying), even if they have the means to do so.The nice thing about most cash buyers is that they won't have an appraisal, so that's one less concern...

I find it interesting too that any attempt to influence a bank officer or threaten them is also illegal and may be connected to fraud.

Also the number of "doors" you can rent should influence how much wiggle room you have.

@Jose Gonzalezbookswow my library is hugeI guess the best work book that I have on the shelf is "how to win friends and influence people"my other favorite book is "the richest man in Babylon"these books are life specific not just real estate specificin them are all the negotiation skills and the outlook on monetary gains associated with the changing times for all generationsthe best advise that I can give you is go out and look at properties and get one under contract and do a rehab- you can hack it or flip it but the more time you put into the field of looking at properties eyes on with a cut sheet you'll be a better investorenjoy

Your approach to a HML or a conventional lender usually done with a purchase contract or plans and specs in hand.There can be situations where a PHA E.D might influence a lending arrangement, PHAs don't lend money. :)

I'd say that having a combination could influence the asking price, as the SFDs can carry more of a margin than the complex.

I would focus on targeted Social Media groups on Facebook and Instagram influencers that can bring the right attention to your properties.  

.- Personal circle/sphere of influence - calling all of your friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers (past and present), businesses you frequent (dry cleaners, restaurants, bakery, grocery store, etc.).

(Unfortunetly the same moderation I'm raving about actually cost me some influence points when I posted in the wrong forum!

and the Post Score section with the leaderboard allows people to see their influence, and the "Recommendations" has been revamped to allow people to brag about themselves a little better. - The Navigation Bar, now on top, is much better organized for easy retrieval of things, especially under the "learn" and "network" tabs.Those are just a few things!
