I just had a client close on a very nice 3 unit in Berwyn, IL using an FHA 203k streamline loan.

How a company deals with a light appraisal will be pretty case-by-case, of course, but if it's just slightly light (like $1000 or so) I'd think that closing a deal with a satisfied client would be worth more than that $1000 to most providers.

It's in Yolo County and basically my client is just finishing his own subdivision plan from 1920 or something (the subdivision he's completing is literally across the street from his primary residence).   

You should get professional help from a cpa, attorney, financial  advisor, real estate agent, etc  We help many clients in the northwest with the options and strategies that the self directed qualified plans can provide but usually they have a professional join the call that can help them make decisions that fit their particular situation and goals. 

About half of those are realtors who are trying to get a sense of what the selling price will be so that they can comp other properties for their clients.

One of these in the past month was for a BP client looking to purchase his first triplex AND live in one of the units as you described.

Hi @Steven Coppola, The one way we do it under our wholesaling business and the way all our clients find deals is by marketing to off-market deals.

JohnsonIt is against the REALTOR® code of ethics to get between a client and their agent.

What I wrote above does not create an attorney/client relationship between us.

This is one of the key papers we explain to our clients while we're closing with them.
