If they are very close it's easy, but when I have to account for differences I don't know how much to adjust, I feel like I'm just guessing. 

If they want a year over year increase, look to see if they adjusted your coverage up?

That said, I suggest checking the competition and adjusting your fees to be competitive.

We bought “below market”, but I just showed him the settlement statement and they adjusted their valuation.

We are thinking about cash out refin on all of our properties since most of them have very high % equity in them and along with holding off of any investment now so we can have a large sum of capital to buy when the market adjust itself.

So, while all properties went up in value, mine was adjusted downward to be comparable to those around me.

Long term success in business, any business, is based on the ability to adjust. 

I think traditional flipping and wholesaling is dead...but people just have to adjust. 

Adjusted for closing costs and major improvements, but still pretty significant.In addition, you should have taken depreciation on the $70k property for 6 years and now need to return ("recapture") the tax benefits of this depreciation.

It can actually be better for the sellers when the buyer asks tons of questions upfront so when you actually go under contract there are only minor adjustments on price or credits which is to be expected.
