Appraisals with wholetails

[Uriah D.]

We have a couple wholetails coming out right now (first round) and we got a question from the appraiser as to how is he supposed to justify that we bought the house a month ago (barely any work was completed) and we are reselling for ~45k more on mls. He wants to be able to justify this to the lender up front. I know value is value and it shouldn’t matter, but my guess is this has happened to a few of you. What response have you given that worked for you?
