@Atampreet Singh given the market is not increasing anymore, what do you have to lose by walking away?

You can check back on the property in a month and it it's still there, make another offer.

REMEMBER - investors make their money when they buy!


Quote from @Eliott Elias:

Are you willing to come up with the rest of the cash to close on this property? Your lender will not give you a penny more than what it appraised at. 

Yes, have the funds to cover the gap but I am going to appeal the appraisal. 

Quote from @Jeff Copeland:

Good advice here already. We're going to start seeing this a lot over the next year or so. Up until now, appraisals (looking back 6-9 months) have supported prices from 6-9 months ago. Not anymore. 

Pretty soon, 6-9 months ago will reflect last Fall, when interest rates spiked and sales stalled. 

The thing is if I wait and don't find a layout like this for another 5 months, I would have lost about 20k in earnings. So based on that I decided to accept the 250k paying 15k over appraised. 

Any follow up thoughts? I am thinking I ll be able to get it refinanced in a year or so when rates go down. 

Quote from @Russell Brazil:

If you're using conventional financing, just switch lenders so you can get a new appraisal

Thanks for the input, I work with a mortgage broker so I can try to talk to him tomorrow.  
I am told that I have to notify / get permission from seller if I want to switch lenders this late in the process. Closing date is set to March 8th. I do have the cash to bridge the gap so we already accepted the 250k counter. 
Question is: do I just ask same appraiser to reconsider value?



Hello all,

I am under contract on a 4 bed 2 bath home in one of the nicer suburbs of Detroit, Auburn Hills. 

I am under contract with seller right now for 277k with 8k in seller credits negotiated upon inspection.  

Now, somehow, appraisal has come in at 235k.

Since, this house has a lot of earning potential for me as a mid term rental airbnb. I would like the deal to not fall through 

Seller has sent in writing a counter for 250k with no concessions, and has asked me to sign mutual release if I don't accept. 

Any thoughts from experienced investors? 

how would you go about negotiating price or buying with sellers terms as is?
