We ended up meeting twice: first for me to measure and pay for the fridge, second time for me to come and get it.

I know when I did my refi the appraiser got there at 10:20 and took outside measurements, looked around and left before my mom(who was supposed to meet him at 10:30) could even make it there.

It seems curious why two appraisers would measure and be off by so much.

Could be a good stop-gap measure untill youre ready to have them rebuilt.

It is easy to puff a property and get 100% full for a month or two and then dump a problem to a buyer. 6 to 12 months of proven occupancy or longer and payments is the real measuring stick that should be used for averaging.I see landlord pays some utilities.

They come to the house and measure and then order the glass and make the windows in their shop.

When first on here, it was in a desperate measure to find funding for opening my home to seniors and concerns my business caring for them would fail.

Hi there— Ever been curious about how appraisers actually measure houses?

How are you measuring up now that Q1 is complete?

If you are confident in the deal and can handle in additional financial commitment in terms of your overall portfolio, then I would do the debt side as well to give your equity at least some measure of additional protection and control.
