My agent has submitted a rebuttal on the appraisal to the lender.Anyone with suggestions as to how to approach this? 

My approach from day one was not to get stuck with a property where you can potentially have 💯 vacancy.

Do you have any pointers in approaching lenders before having an actual deal?

I know that I am not the best looking guy, but I think people find me approachable.

I plan on bringing a contractor with me when I go see the property for a repair estimate.I'm setting up a meeting with them this week, but I'm still a little unsure as to how to best approach the situation.

I just don’t know how to approach them on the terms.  

@Jason Todd I’m not sure what the best approach would be but I’m intrigued and would like to follow this post as it goes.

Another approach is have someone find you such a solid brick and hardwood you know low maintenance... little rental sf from the 1950s or just as good the 60s... carpenters guilded.

Besides, using other people's money is always the best approach.

The current price point is $300k.I should have followed my instinct and use you as my agent but the one I used on this deal was the woman who brought me the property when I purchased it and I told her I would use her on the disposition of the asset, I was keeping my word to her.
