Can I just find duplex or triplex near by and use the rents to get the GOI of these properties to project what a 4plex is valued?

(Appraiser used a nearby gated community that is not an accurate comp.)Realistic sell price: $400-425kWhat would you do when the appraisal is so high its not realistic for sell and if I pull out all the equity, the property won't cash flow as a rental. 

I know the population growth, employment opportunities, attractions nearby and local tax laws within a state have a significant impact on a rental market but are there any other factors to take into consideration?

The first people I signed up to stay at my home duplex's second apartment were grad students at an exclusive private university nearby (I was also once a grad student at an exclusive private university), and all their parents cosigned their lease.When I got into self-managing SFR rentals years before, I bought four books on doing it, read them assiduously like the failed academic I am, and implemented what they taught me, along with everything my research training and brief local county government employment had helped me with in looking up people locally and doing extensive background checks.

If there are multifamily/mixed use zones nearby, you will have a better chance of getting a rezoning application approved.Are you planning to live there?

Luckily had a water key nearby!

It concerns me a bit that there are no major cities nearby.

She is from nearby and her parents retired in SF so made sense for us to look somewhere we know. 

I asked him to take a look at it and got back to me saying it’s worth 700-800k based on near by comps.
