Question about DSCR, why is my appraisal so much lower than my rent collection
So I closed on a 4 unit mutli back in december that was 75% occupied, on MTM and well below market. I bought for 425k in one of the best neighborhoods in Cleveland, great rental demand, close to city center and walking distance to everything. I put in about 90k in renovations and upgrades and now fully occupied (last lease is being signed today) collecting $7200/month in rents, with all tenants now on 12 month leases.
I am in the process of refinancing under DSCR but the lender's appraser came back at $575k valuation, as I am looking to cash out on this one.
My question, is it common for an appraisal to come in that low, especially with 7200 in rents a month coming in?
Thanks for any guidance, just wanted to see if it was worth shopping around or just closing it at 575k valuation and moving on.

Appraisal is not based on cap rate. They are using sale comps. If it was a 5+ unit building cap rate would come into play.
