Hey all! I'm looking for a home inspector that works in the Lorain County area.

By that I mean what are you offering in terms of time to close, earnest money, shorter inspection period, offering to pay seller's closing costs, waiving appraisal and financing contingencies, etc.Find out how how you can go on a particular property and still meet your goals if you do venture into offering over ask.

No realtors, no closing costs, no banks, no appraisals, no fees.  

Appraisal came in low at $155K, but due to the issues with the house, and the length of time on the market, the seller was willing to accept the lower number.

Once you have known costs, you can go back to the seller and explain that anyone that buys that home will end up doing the same that you will be required to do as their conventional or govie lenders will stop the loan based on the appraiser identifying these as unpermitted additions.

Hi All - just got my appraisal back and the appraised value is the exact same amount as the purchase price.

You have now added 50k in equity to the property.A lender now uses that appraisal of 200k to put a new mortgage on the property.

Six months after the purchase the home was appraised at &100k and I was able to refinance up to 80% LTV.

The appraiser's notes pretty much just referenced the last 6 months in the same community.
