@Chris MasonNot quite it as far as the CCCR comment.Appraisers use three models for value.They also factor in cost to build/replace.They can also use income.To the OP; Ask the appraiser what method(s) they used before you figure out how or if you can change their mind.

What type(s) of insurance and coverage do you use for your Fix & Flip (or Hold) deals?

They have their attorney’s opinion that the foreclosure(s) were sufficient and therefore don’t want to release the deposit.

One corner of the property and the basement floor are about 3 feet below the base flood elevation.

Ask the prospective contractor(s) the best way to achieve that vision.

Preferably in their mid 20's to early 30's, in business for 4+ years, and highly ethical and professional with impressive sales numbers.
