There was this thread a while back for doing it the other direction, but you can probably do the same thing in reverse: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/177798-how-to-appeal-a-low-appraisal-and-win

Hey Steve McPherson: Here are the ways to appeal your taxes. 

I want my homes to continue with the curb appeal so I have a lawn guy that tends to my properties.

Don't be afraid to spend a little extra on things that will appeal to the end buyer either.

I have been learning some basics and the thought of house hacking a multi-family home or single family home appeals to me.

@Tim Richardson I think you will find that most everyone goes with a neutral color to appeal to the masses, and there are threads on BP complete with before and after pictures. 

The appeal to a property like this would be in potential long term appreciation.I'd be delighted to go through my numbers with you on the phone or skype if you're interested?  

The more "distressed" the property, usually the higher opportunity for turn-around and the ARV is generally much more appealing.  

Write down which blocks are appealing and which blocks makes you want to lock your doors and run red lights.  

We did not have a very good pantry, a yellow and red exterior is a bad choice, make sure you have a drier vent, make closets big enough, trim trees to add curb appeal, expand living space if possible.
