I used to work in investment sales, and this was one of the many methods we would use to boost NOI in the OM. 

I do not think our mortgage coordinator even saw that in the appraisal because he didn’t say anything at all ( he’s getting married this weekend, so I think he’s mentally checked out).  

This is a mentality that people have had since the 1940's!

Yea it's more or less a loss leader for us as it boosts up the Sales & Management.

Success in business requires a great mental outlook and mindset.  

@Thomas S.Thanks so much for sharing your system and mentality. 

I keep hearing in the podcasts how hard is to find a good contractor that can work well with investors, that can save them money and time, I also heard that you gotta make sure you find the right agent that understand the investors approach and mentality so you don't waste time in bad leads, right now I'm having problems finding good leads where the numbers make sense to purchase, I also heard how hard it is to find a good property manager that is smart and creative and can maximize your cash-flow. 

I'm preparing myself mentally to keep looking for my next deal if my offer gets rejected and also lining up contractors to do the renovations in case my offer is accepted as well.  

I’m new to valuating 20+ properties and want to make sure this is a legitimate seller formula rather then a ‘pie in the sky’ attempt at boosting the selling price.

We have been getting our ducks in a row (finacially and mentally) for selling when the price is right.
