Can appraisers possibly consider a broker's price opinion on a property based on market data? 

@Brittany HeilI'm not certain if this applies to all markets, but our lender (and loan product) and property insurance company expected us to move into the Primary residence within 1-2 months.

Thank you, These fees arent out of the ordinary for what I typically see in my market - do keep in mind that the $2k in fees are outside of the realtors control and are charged by your closing company, she is likely estimating these amounts with what they typically see in the area.

Always gotta be studying the market, studying your competitors, and improving your homes to exceed the rapidly increasing competition.

Leveraging Ed's local market expertise, we quickly assessed the property's potential.

They do pretty heavy marketing.

The key to success in real estate investing lies in thorough research, strategic planning, and a willingness to adapt to changing market conditions.

Appraisals aren't guarantees of market value, so unless you can prove some kind of fraud here you're going to be out of luck.

A good investor friendly lender & agent will certainly help + groups like this and local REIA groups with opportunities to meet in person or on social media and network about off market opportunities too!
