Is your broker eating the appraisal cost or passing it along to you?

It's like people will tell you to be healthy, all you have to do is exercise and eat right.

Just eat the extra $1500 as profit that you pay tax on.   

After years of struggling just to get by and eating Taco Bell every night because my wife was a manager and got free food I can say were in a pretty good place right now.

I don't eat worms, but good advice about shopping on line. 

In theory I agree, but you can't eat houses.

If the guy owns the house outright and is renting to you cheaper than what the market would allow; if the guy owes so much on the house that you have to eat his shortfall; if your roommates move out and you can't replace them; ETC. 

Learn the basics first about real estate, we eat an elephant one bite at a time.Initially, work with an agent who has experience and where you can feel free to ask questions, you need a good communicator. 

@Janie Vowles Welcome.We wait until we've got an Application, copy of License and a check, then we do the Checking and eat the cost.
