Should I provide inspection reports to appraiser?
Hello, BP! I am closing on a 4 plex and the inspections didn't come back the best. Termites, dry rot, fungal & and new roof needed. This isn't a deal breaker as the owner is willing to do repairs, fumigation & new roof.
My question is the following......
Should I provide the home appraiser with all the inspection reports? I want the appraisal to be fair but sometimes the appraiser doesn't know what's going on behind the walls. Also, they aren't able to determine how much life is left on a roof. Or is this a bad idea?
