My take is that if you wouldn't currently seek to BUY properties with those numbers then accepting them from a property that you already own isn't any more justifiable.. unless you have some strong emotional connection to the property and think you might want to live in it again eventually.

If it does not cash flow, will you be able to justify it, at least with appreciation rate?

This tactic has helped many times in justifying our offer.

Do your research and justify your choice.Good luck man.

Fees should be clearly stated, easy to understand, and justifiable.

It is just scare tactics to justify a dying industry, being pushed out by cutting edge automation. 

House hacking is a non starter for me as I've got a 13 and 14 year old in school here in town and I can't justify the upheaval my family would go through for getting a rental property.

Our experience has been that most appraisers in our area just try to justify the sales price, but it is a nice bonus when it comes in higher than expected, especially if you can reduce your down payment! 

The challenge started becoming when He would have to up the down payment to justify his fee to the point where properties were not selling as fast as they should.

Sometimes I think people post here about how unreasonable the market is because they don't have the funds to invest or are too scared to invest and they use that to justify their inaction.
