Hi Everyone,First time posting here, but I was wondering how lenders choose their appraisers.

If you do decide to go with PenFed let me know why you decided to choose them.

Who's to say "Best" but there are a lot of great places to choose from.I'd say start by looking at the data: growing population?

I have a general question about choosing a business name for an investing company (in my case it will be fix&flip business),I see two different strategies:1- Personal brand, which is connected with your personality and name, for example "Daria Real Estate LLC", 2- General business name with no focusing on the owner, such as "Freedom Real Estate LLC" or similar, where you basically choose the word you like and add "real estate" at the end.The goal is to advertise the business on social media and connect with like-minded people to share the experience.

You can tell them what contractors, floor specialists you approve and let them choose from your list. 

Lots of different options to choose from, but price point dependent.

It'll likely to benefit them one way or another if you choose to invest there.Unfortunately the market is not the same as what it used to be. 1% rule exists in areas where you wouldn't want to step on, with the hopes that area will over time get better.One very important investment factor is, the tenant pool you'll be targeting. 

.- It is completely free for a landlord unless you decide to cover the $2 ACH fees for tenants, which I think many people choose to do.- There is a cost to tenants for rent payments.

I don’t believe you can choose not to depreciate an investment property unless this property is in Canada where I believe they do have the option.

You lose your job the market that you thought would happen isn't there your wife's health fails your health fails there are all of these things that you need to look at in a worst-case scenario and so when you go into a deal in this particular case my friend's best advice is to show him the downside right so that when he goes into this deal he and his wife understand the worst-case scenarios now they may still choose to do it that's up to them but at the end of the day what you have to do from a business perspective is look at your downside don't focus on the upside focus on the downside.
