@Daniel Brown Client bought a property with the intention of bumping it up and out based on his contractor's figures.

@David Brown Open escrow with an escrow company, title company, or attorney, depending on what's common practice in the state you're buying the property.

@Daniel Brown Yes, some banks will HELOC based on your tax assessment after the house has been “seasoned” lived in for 1+ year.While this would save you the $500 appraisal fee, it likely won’t benefit you in this case.You want a formal walkthrough / appraisal.

@Daniel Brown: I would ask to get confirmation of how many she is selling at the moment. 

@Bailey Brown What are you looking to invest in SFH, Duplex or Quadplex?

@Jacob Rodrigues @Jeremy Brown - As far as I know, no lender will let you include room rental income as part of your purchasing power.
