Property appraised for 245k; however, it was classified as a c5 which prevented most lenders from issuing conventional financing.I contested the appraisal and the appraiser held their ground, but their supervisor told me that if I slapped a coat of paint on the cabinets (these needed to be replaced due to wood rot) it would be an easy c4.I paid $520 for a new appraisal, contacted all my family and friends, deep cleaned the home and put a fresh coat of paint on the rotted cabinets and over the doors.
