I've started a side-by-side comparison of all the areas mentioned to narrow it down a bit.

For comparison, cross-town rival Redfin’s new home buying and selling program Redfin Now just upped the maximum amount of home values on its books at any one time from $10 million to $25 million."

This comparison is meant to bring two strategies that have similar work effort required into the spotlight.

It also doesn't give the best comparison to other transactions in the market, information like $/door and $/sq ft are also highly relevant.There's probably a reason why the market says this particular property should be 10% when comparable properties in your market are at 7%.

It seems like this would be the best way to compare lenders but I'm concerned about all the hard credit checks that would result from doing this kind of comparison shopping.

The value should be determined by comps that they deem comparable and the adjustments that are done that reflect a true comparison between the subject and the comps.

@Jay Hinrichs Sorry you feel that way.. no digs here, just education and discussion and making a simple comparison as to how it relates and our opinion on the subject 😊REI BBB ProfileCrestCore BBB Profile (New review from someone on 12/22)

The property is very affordable in comparison to back home and I want to use this to my advantage.     

The comparison is not even there.

I have researched the Cleveland area and have come across a property on Lincoln Ave in Garfield Heights 44125 at a great price in comparison to those in the area.
