You can have all the most beautiful features, although if one is not expecting a lot of traffic and finds it once they arrive, that the home is on a street with a dotted yellow line down it, that is a problem.

The practical effect of this is that some features can be smoother, e.g. faster construction draws.Both banks and private/HMLs are commonly used options, and which one you use generally depends on your priority for a given project.Hope this helps,Michael

It combines PM features with basic accounting features. 

Ive looked online to see if any comparable homes were up for rent but I haven't found any close by with the same property features.

@Dominic Levisay Also, sounds like he is a terrible tenant.

The NWI classification means absolutely nothing from a regulatory perspective and is notoriously spotty in accuracy, but it's a good first hint that there might be something there to look at if it shows a feature.

There were more recent sales, which the appraiser used, but these comps were all severely outdated, and lack valuable features our house has.  

For a 1-4 unit residential property, the appraiser is going to be looking at a number of variables, but the following three are some of the most importantSimilarity of property type to the subject propertySimilarity of property size/features to the subject propertyProximity to the subject propertyAppraisers will generally look for properties that have sold recently that are similar in property type, size/features, and are proximate to the subject property.Let’s say that you are looking at fixing and flipping a 3 bed, 1 bath SFR (single family residence) in a northern suburb of Chicago.The appraiser likely is not looking at duplexes, because the property type is dissimilar.The appraiser likely is not looking at 3 bed, 5 bath SFRs because the property features are dissimilar.Lastly, the appraiser is likely not looking at properties that are several miles away, or in a completely different city than the subject property.The appraiser is most likely going to be looking at 3 bed, 1 bath SFRs that have recently sold near the subject property.You can also consult realtors in your area to get a sense of if your estimate is close or not.Hope this helps,Michael
