On that note, my Fiance was putting in offers in Pcola for another place and even though we had a super strong over asking price offer they went with someone else due to the worry that the appraisal would come in low (For VA you can't buy a property if the appraisal is below your offer, conventional you can just bring that extra cash to the closing table if you want but VA wont allow it, so you're kind of at a disadvantage now if you plan on going VA).

The title agent here in AZ handled this all at the closing table for us last time.  

By waiving the contingency, I have agreed to agreed upon sale price and then I have to bring that extra cash to the table to satisfy my mortgage.

In this instance we ultimately secured it $15k under the other offer on the table.

I pulled eviction proceedings off the table and settled in exchange for the tenant, who refused to vacate after her lease ended June of 2020, to apply for the funds. 

The  out of state buyer is coming to the table with $200k to leverage against the locals. https://www.kvue.com/article/m...

While that deal did fall in your lap a $50,000 - $60,000 return is not unheard of especially if you did most of that renovation yourself or at a discount due to the skills you bring to the table.

I may be leaving a little money on the table by "over improving," but I have been renting seven units for the last two years and I have yet to lose a tenant or miss a month's rent.I recommend making your units nice and screening your tenants diligently.  

I believe you will find, and regardless of who you speak to, every market brings something different to the table.  

So when the market is skinny and deals are tough to find does that mean you’re gonna go wait on tables at a restaurant?
