They will likely hurt your appraisal, assuming they are in rough condition and sell for less than the properties in good condition.

COnditions might be a little less favorable than owner-occupied, but it's available.

I always try to get the overall general condition prior to the appointment and give them a ballpark range just so we both don't waste each other's times.

Another reason I'll be doing it that way is because of my physical condition and my brother has offered his help.

House Hacking Analysis:Financing: FHA or FHA 203K (depending on the condition of the property and the deal) Due to the flexible qualifying guidelines and low down payment requirements, I feel a 30 year FHA or FHA 203K loan would make the most sense in my situation.My partner and I would split the 3.5% down payment and would have both of our names on the loan.

I had a different 3-way mix previously purchased from another topsoil company that, under the same conditions, did not have these problems (compacting, ponding water) which I demonstrated to the business owner.Due to costs incurred by me to deal with the problem product, I refuse to pay topsoil prices for this fill dirt that I did not agree to or need.

My wife does not feel that we will get the return, and feels like we should pour the back pad, but the driveway condition should be accepted as-is for the new owners.  

I've found that might be a little too much, but I'm not inclined to change it right now.  6% might be pretty much on target, but it does depend on the location (some areas simply have harsher conditions and also might be more expensive for repairs) and the age and condition of the property.  

have you made any unscheduled visits to assess outside conditions?
