I am looking for recommendations of a well drilling company for an inspection/estimate on a piece of land in Yavapai County in Arizona that I am interested in purchasing. The owner states that there was a borehole dug 25 years ago 50 feet deep but that will most likely need to be dredged and cased. This is my first time dealing with a well and I would gladly receive any information others are willing to share on the process including their past experiences. Thank you!

Hello all,

We are planning to start process to refinance our FHA home loan to a conventional loan in the next 30 days. We checked comps in the area and house is worth approx 100,000 more than when we bought in 2016!!! We plan to withdrawal some of our equity to use for a down payment for our FIRST (well second if you count our first single family home purchase) investment property and looking primarily at duplexes. What are the things that impact your appraisal most? Our bathrooms are updated but kitchen is outdated. We recently purchased new kitchen appliances a month ago. If we painted the kitchen cabinets and put in new countertops how much would this impact our appraisal or would it at all? Are there any affordable tricks to maximize your appraisal? Thank you in advance!!!
