Switching lenders won't help you because I believe the appraisal belongs to the VA, and they have it on file regardless of which lender brokers the loan.Your agent doesn't sound to blame here whatsoever, as any good agent will have you defer to the judgement of a real expert of a particular issue - in this case, your lender.

Hi everyone so I think I'm just on information overload, I know I want to get into REI and I need to for my family.I wanted to get into REI 10 years ago, then after job cuts and losing my job i landed a another job but was completely side tracked, managed a nightclub and while that paid well I had never really been a kid while I was 19-23 so when I got that job I kind of became a kid and had fun 24/7 while building the business to huge heights and loving every second of it. 2 years later my girl and I found out we were gonna be parents, I had to go get a "real" job with medical benefits asap, no more play time it was daddy time.I quit drinking and going out, went and got a union job and got full time in 4 months after starting to have the medical for my family.

I now use that time to read emails, drink a lot of coffee, ride bikes. mainly the last two.

I know when I worked for a GC, we had LDs on our contracts, due to the fact that if we ran past the end date, the client would be losing money from rents, school attendance, or manufacturing time lost(we did mid sized educational, healthcare, assisted living, food/drink manufacturing plants, etc...).

Hudson Marshall states agent said it was occupied and owner expected to be out by Sept. but w/ 2 dogs may be longer.

@Matt DonleyThe appraisal belongs to the person that orders it.

It belonged to her uncle who passed away and he left it to her and two other relatives that lived in different parts of the country.

A walked the property again today and noticed a small coin laundry area, some additional deferred maintenance and evidence that a lot of the tenants appear to be long term.

Work in Walnut Creek, so we can meet up for lunch or drinks after work

You have to be long-term, 15-20 years then you will make money.
