Recently received an update from my realtor that several appraisers are passing on the building and 1 in particular even called my realtor and shared information that he shouldn't have, such as: inquiring if there is a relation between myself and the seller, agreed numbers are strong but shared it will not appraise for what I'm paying and to reconsider me being in the deal and use the appraisal as a reason to get out of the deal...really odd and the realtor agreed.My question is, why would appraisers turn down the 4 unit building and why would that particular appraiser share so much and then not be the one to do the job?

I'm sure there is variance, I'm just trying to update my analyses. 

There will always be issues with some residents and those will take up a majority of your time and effort.Then there will be the occasional pipe bursts, small fires, etc.Dealing with tax appeals, tax returns, insurance shopping.If you have investors, keep them updated and informed throughout. 

The Windermere/Winter Garden areas are always very sought after with the proximity to theme parks, airport, downtown etc too.So you have lots of options for higher end homes and prospective tenants, good luck, keep us updated.

Quick update, as the tenant just called me.

Obviously a scam, just thought I'd share it.....I replaced their personal info with dots....HelloThanks for the updated information.

My experience is they will not look into what you have done with your property in the inside or outside, unless you have a new mortgage loan/refi or a permit for construction or do something that triggers substantive difference of the value of the property (land and/or improvements).It may take less than one year after you buy for the tax assessor to value your property at recent sales comps, or it can be dormant for several years. 

Fixed fences, updated lights, small maintenance issues Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

If the property is priced favorably and is clean/updated, people tend to stay longer.

My previous renos/updates were all DIYs with my former spouse.
