In 6-12 months I will be doing a cash out refinance on the property I'm about to close on. I will be using that money for further property investments.

My questions are this. Is there a source of information on tips for a better appraisal? Or any tips of your own? I will be doing improvements on my property and I want to get the most for my money. I want to start researching now, so I'm not throwing money away at needless improvements.



I realize this post is similar to lightning's best bang for the buck, but that is dealing with home buyers who are emotional. I will be dealing with an appraiser who shouldn't be. I am also well aware they are human, so any tips on setting the tone for the property are useful too.
