Not everyone will stick their neck out, I do, at the drop of a hat.

But being hat I am still really green, I wanted to make sure that I was not walking away from any potential money.

Feels good to know that a stranger from Arizona with an awesome hat reached out to me so quickly to offer some solid advice.

First you contractor pulled a rabbit out of his hat.

Section 8 in you area may be full, but see hat you can find.

I hope that helps.Hi @Courtney Wozcoz was hat question for me?

It's dicey territory because you are wearing 2 hats, investor buyer and agent representing the seller.

@Shekeira Ward Putting my attorney hat on (member of the Massachusetts bar), I interpret "initial investment" as meaning purchase price since "in purchasing the property" immediately follows.   

Getting an appraisal just to get a value when you already own something is different.When a lender is hanging their hats on an appraisal for loan purposes the appraisal company has more potential liability.     

i dont understand why most people automatically have to put their lawyer hat when the initial question had nothing to do with the legality of the scenario. he was simply asking "which way do you prefer, which one makes sense".
