Only the appraiser’s client — the lender — can demand a review of the appraisal, and only the buyer can request a review or a second appraisal.

Most of my clients are in similar situation: they want to reduce their tax liability today.

@Justin F. it really depends on your price point and the clients you plan to put into the SFR.  2.5 miles is actually pretty close and will probably have some issues during the hot months. 

@Jami Krietzman I was just hired on at an accounting firm in Bowling Green KY and I know we have quite a few real estate clients.

For the sake of your future CPA, do not wait until tax season ;)At that point, we're extremely busy and the timing may actually prohibit us from taking on new clients.

You can't blame them either, because they are trying to get the highest price possible for their client.

Listen to podcasts so you understand what your potential client is looking for.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/01/3...https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/05/0...Good luckDebbie

@Daniel DietzI’ve done it and we have many clients who have done exactly what you are proposing. 

I don't have a single client with >3 Bay Area mortgages that has the day-job income to support those 3 Bay Area loan amounts (we're talking $1m to $5m in debt here, easily), so yes it's certainly possible.

As an agent, I sometimes help my clients rent specific properties by putting them on the MLS. 3) Location location location - the best rentals are close to jobs or other attractions/amenities.
