Many buyers/investors are using this strategy to invest in real estate

But I cannot wrap my mind about this.

There are pros and cons to using DPA with your average conv/fha loans ( yes this is how you arrive at 0% down or 100% CLTV or combined loan to value financing).Conv and FHA lend up to 95-97% so that remaining 3-5% down is covered or partly covered by the remaining local DPA programs.

The appraised value seems low and I am trying to understand the best strategy to challenge this value and the cost / benefit of going through the condemnation process. 

Thanks everyone for your feedback on this. 

I just have never heard of this kind of experience and am wondering if others have run into any debacle like this. title company checks normally dont get held I know mine never do.. last year when first american got hacked I had closed a deal and had a nice size proceed wire due and it took 6 or 7 days for FATCO to get the wire out to me..

If you're talking about asset management software, you can take a look at this.

This allows us to consider the real estate cycle and determine the optimal timing to sell.

Many if not most people don't think about this. 

Hello Dalton, Is this an appraisal done before the work was completed where you gave them the scope of work and they are giving you the ARV appraisal?
