Key insights

  • In a buyer's market, a property not appraising for the agreed-upon price can give buyers leverage to negotiate the seller down, especially if the seller is motivated to move.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Failing to account for a ramp-up period in the first year of operation can lead to disappointment if projected income targets are not immediately met due to lack of reviews and market establishment.
