The assumption of below FMV is not necessarily accurate either.

Brown's assumption of this role is one of the root causes of her statement that it "could not be done in a few hours per week".

Please, feel free to give feedback or question my assumptions/experiences.

My initial assumptions are yes, based on the “build to rent” strategy.

My advice would be to move forward, conduct due diligence, and either buy it if the assumptions are verified or walk away.

If the property appreciates at the expected 5% annually (a reasonable assumption in many parts of Florida), that's a $20,000 increase in value on a $400,000 property.

I wouldn't consider the opinion of the market that rates are trending downwards in the coming years either, the assumption of appreciation and rate decreases will get investors in a lot of trouble. 

(generally takes 60-90 days to close an assumption)I purchased my most recent primary residence with a an assumable VA loan and am saving about $1,100 per month on my mortgage payment compared to a loan written at today's rates and I am also enjoying about 2.5x the principal paydown per month as well!!

I believe this is a common misunderstanding of how title insurance works.Title insurance claims are low as compared to say homeowners' insurance, not because there are less problems, but because title insurance is based on risk avoidance, not risk assumption.

I agree with Michelle on the assumption that individually they both meet your screening criteria.
