Although from your vantage point it may seem more complicated than that, it really is not.I feel like I have kicked this horse several times and the same message is repeated in my post.

He did revise his appraisal higher but then asked me to perform some unnecessary modifications to the back door and side gate because he said they were not "pool compliant" My realtor complained and sent the city ordinance showing my house was already compliant to the lender who forwarded it to the appraisal management co.

Being broker and contractor ourselves seem to complicate things a little bit.

The larger and more complicated the job is, the more costly the surprises can be.

Not only are you highly unlikely to make any positive cash flow, there are a lot of CA laws that make everything more complicated to have rentals.

I can tell you that unless you have comps in the area it will create complications, as it did for me.

Nicole ClemensThe use of a private lender has some other issues that you must consider that complicates things.
