It has been listed about a month and I get a lot of initial interest but not many qualified applications.

So in case an appraiser tries to low ball you, you can bring out that previous ARV appraisal value to show the disparity and plead your case to the bank. 

I am not sure if this even sounds feasible, but those were some initial thoughts and wanted to see what some more of the seasoned investors think. 

After making edits (one tenant added a cat) and sending again, Tenants signed and initialed two copies of the lease and mailed them to me, along with their first month's rent and security deposit.

@Slaiman Atayee I don't think I understand the financing for the initial purchase - is it correct that you're using a "private lender" that is requiring 2 points, 20% "down" (from you?)

Initially, I was really worried about the 45 day period on finding the 3 properties I wanted to purchase, but I was able to find this property within the first week of the 45 days.The Rehab and Renting:The property closed the week before Thanksgiving, I called my GC to get started.

Learning as I get into this to keep my initial cost down. 

I initially put $46,000 into the property.

After knocking the initial msrp of $1000, being an opened box appliance and a floor model, I talked down the fridge $300 for a today pickup.Not going to lie I got an adrenaline rush from this type of negotiating too and also wished I asked for more.Anyways, what are your usual ways of saving money when it comes to upgrading your appliances in units?

Considering my vested share, estimate of repairs, and other costs, I was going to make initial offer between $1.0-1.1M.
