A cash buying flipper likely would desire the price to be lower. 

you may want to check that aspect with the state.Bill Gulley was talking about some new federal laws that I am unaware of personally.. as I really don't do this type of transaction anymore.

This is a fee that is usually charged in commercial transactions for the banks legal division to draw up the loan documents.

I had already made off and agreement on 2500 for closing but rules state only 3 % so I ended up only getting 1150 instead and couldn't go back and ask for lower price from seller

I've ran the amortization data comparing the cost differential of buying now at a low interest rate versus paying a higher rate in the future with a lower home price.

I reminded the CU that Regulation B §1002.14 applies in this case and now my LO is requesting permission to release the evaluation to me.That said, I've never heard of a "liquidation value" appraisal being used for a purchase money transaction. 

- Tom Tom i have the same terms and approach, they are letting me get away with 20% down right now, however i am sure my average price point is lower than yours. (80k -150k)

@Christopher Winkler I personally don't mind paying someone to brings me a buyer for my properties, I consider it as costs of sales, everyone can win in the transaction.

I agree with @Brandt Smith and @Jason Mayberry that not every potential transaction is a good deal.

My company is a buyer and private lender on lower $ ARV SFH properties throughout the U.S.
