Look up Sean Terry and Max Maxwell on youtube and see if that appeals to you.

Upon appeal (Tidewater Clause), I got it up to $345,000. 

Bronxville seems to have all the qualities that should appeal to a higher-end demographic: good schools, easy commute into NYC, parks, etc.

Is this correct or at least something I can fight/appeal?

Other than offering to be fluid with his 45 and 180 day limitations (identity in 45 days, close in 180), what else can we include in our offers to make them more appealing?

I am an architect in the city who has experience taking projects like this through the appeals process (not selling my services, just giving context).

There are many things that could make your home great for you but not appeal to many renters.So when choosing to keep your ex-home, look at owner tax benefits that will be lost if you do not live in the home for a certain duration and look at if your investment dollars could perform better elsewhere (I think most people who convert their ex-home to a rental could have done better purchasing a different property).So my ex-home is our worse performing property from an equity perspective. 

I haven't had a tenant request an appeal in over five years.Second, if there's just an hour or two of cleaning, I'll usually eat the cost.

My mortgage agent’s manager appealed to FNMA twice, he said they won’t budge on this.

Also any luck with FEMA removing it out of Flood Plain after your E-LOMA appeal??
