@Peyton LaBarbera - From my experience doing foreclosure auctions in CT, you need to have a cashier's check for 10% of the "appraised value" which is defined in the foreclosure writeup.  

Bought for 305k appraised for over 350k in AS-IS condition.

Is there a way to have it show up as a comp for appraisers.

I guess from an appraisal perspective it could be a different story...Thanks for reading and please share your thoughts and comments! 

My client immediately ordered an independent appraisal to be done on the property which came back with 1,350.

We believe in the markets we are looking at we can expect an appraisal at 300k a unit for new construction.

I started out 20+ years ago appraising then transitioned to investing.

Is that included in the divorce calculations or are you just taking gross appraised value?  

There are appraisal fees, inspection fees and other fees involved on your end when you buy a property.When a seller has a need to sell quickly (job loss, job transfer, medical reason, marriage, divorce, probate) they sometimes will take speed and no hassle over list on the MLS.
