How can I go about making my appraisal work for me

[Cody Macias]

Hi my name is Cody and I am new to real estate. The question at hand is for my brother but I am curious about it as well. Ryan Lundquist from the bp podcast ep. 7 elaborated a bit on how to make appraisals work for you. After personally consulting with a friend in real estate. He spoke with his mentor and his mentor basically just said call your local appraiser. I could replay the podcast several times until I finally come to a somewhat of a conclusion on how to implement what he does to make appraisals work for him. However I am hoping someone in the appraisal field or investor who has the experience or know how, will take a newbie under his wing and explain so I can make an intelligent and informed decision. Thank you in advance for anyone who comments in response to this post you are truly amazing and hope this time and effort you put into this community will bless you and your investments ten fold. Very respectfully Cody R. Macias

I didn't listen to the podcast, but to the best of your knowledge, what do you think the podcast is trying to say?
