Once you build a relationship with them through multiple loans they'll increase the percentage up to the full amount.  

(On a more general note, I am becoming increasingly interested in real estate investment and am enjoying this hobby!)

Once DD has stared and I can flesh out the operational details like what will CapEx look like month 15 when I have to replace XXXX and this county adjusts taxes biennially so in month 21 I can expect a 10% increase.

Waiting on the appraisal which should be completed in a few days, it will be interesting to see if they appraise it at a 3 or 4bdrm.My current plan: Increase final selling price by 2.5k and ask for 5k back in seller concessions. 

I do not want this deal to go through, and I would still probably be willing to move forward if they matched my increase in price with an equal increase in seller concessions (so they they have no net loss) .

From a business perspective it’s very simple, raise the rent to market value / increase profit.

We also told them that the rent would increase by $50. 

The property value is not increasing year over year?

Here’s the catch which I know is gonna cost probably thousands, when we got our house built my great grandfather accidentally built a privacy fence for us 10 feet off the actual zoning on both driveways separating our house from theirs and the neighbors. now one of our neighbors is building a new driveway which is close to our privacy fence and the other one is building more property on his land which is supposed to be ours.

I'm quite used to increasing leverage with each 1031 exchange.
