When the buyers objected they'd explain why.... it should be done this way to prevent delays.For what it's worth I just had my loan officer fight for me on 2 appraisals just this week.

For a long time, I've had the objective to move my business, and my life, to South California along with my wife and baby girl.

If I try to follow them (and I have in the past), it just stresses me out to the point where following the routine becomes the objective. 

I personally wouldn't want $70k tied up into a deal that's bringing me $130/door cash flow but I may have different goals and objectives than you.

Since my bank picks from a pool of 8-10 appraisers, I see the same people over and over, and a couple of them have become pretty good friends, but I always have to be clear that I'm not trying to influence their objectivity. 

If you provide more details I’d be glad to give objective advice and my opinion on the matter.

What if after this large purchase you get laid off from work and you can afford these interests free payments anymore.Since differing credit scores have a myriad of affecting factors, i chose to screen my tenants against minimum credit score as it provides an objective reference point for me to make decisions rather than leave them up to questionable, subjective interpretations of ones credit score.

I know as a homeowner you care about those things but I would think the shiny objects new carpet, tile backsplash, cabinets would be more attractive to renters and they care much less about the bones and infrastructure of the house.

Full disclosure, I am a Realtor, so I may provide some bias in answering, but I will try my best to give you an objective opinion.Anyone can market a house for sale. 

(Look on craigslist, local rental agreements, drive by current rehab and chat with flipper, etc...)Objectively, I'd hold off on the full offer of $450K.
