Who is the appraisal?

[Masashi Borges-Silva]

Just like the title says, do I need to find my own appraisal after renovation in New York state?

I am not familiar who is running the business. That is, is this a city governmnet’s scope of work or do I contact a private company’s scope? Or is it usually provided by the lender when evaluating VAR?

I am trying to buy a single family primary for short term rental given the market situation, and I want to analyze if long term rental make sense financially if I switch it to a long term rental in New York State. 

Thank you in advanced and happy Halloween!
