First investment purchase, first cancelling of contract, so unclear on the legal standing etc.I entered contract on a rental, and post inspection am cancelling my purchase based on findings of inspection.The listing agent who is the team leader for my buyers agent is requesting a copy of the inspection.  

Unless, we have some other financial catastrophe (created by the US as the last one) or based on Geo-political upheavals that we help cause, but ultimately don't control.

@Dwayne Jones Appraisals are one of the most frustrating parts of my business - but it is an imperfect science and a lot of it is based on personal judgement, so I understand it.

We have done a tremendous amount of research to date, but are hoping to find some folks who are already succeeding to lend us some wisdom in exchange for shameless food based bribery.We have a solid background in property rehab and estimating and one of us knows a little about the law, but we could really use some advice from those of you who were actually able to stop researching - and start investing.Are there any investor-friendly agents or investing pro's out there who would be willing to set up some time to chat?   

I am looking for anyone who has worked with any lenders in Nc. Specifically Raliegh and Fayetteville areas.

If you would like to be added to my investor data base I would like to hear from you.
