I have just gotten an appraisal on my primary home and am waiting the results although it should come in around 60000-70000 to use as HELOC.

We would prefer to not wait to sell until August 2019 when the lease expires, but we do not have experience selling an occupied rental home. 

At this point they are playing the waiting game with the company/agency.

Waited 3 weeks after ordering the appraisal for the ARV to come in 10K over as-is. 

I would say Annual operating costs have increased due to such things as property taxes and insurance.It much easier to do a 3% to 5% increase every year, than wait multiple years and then try and catch up.

We had to wait for commitment from broker 2 (which we just got) and we will now be able to close next week.The issue is that broker 2 suggests that I should not fully disclose the fact that I have a signed contract and a mortgage application with broker one, but rather that I should just explain "shopping for mortgage" regarding the credit inquiry of broker 1. 

If you mortgaged it right when you purchased it I have a feeling you need to wait a year but I'm happy to connect you with the lender that I've used over the last 7 years if you'd like.

Waiting on the plumber and electrician.  

I’ll wait to see what they come back at me with.

It has been a few days since we submitted the offer and are approaching the deadline we also put in on the offer.Does anyone know if they sometimes take a few days to get back (most likely waiting for other offers) or if they simply do wish to accept our offer or if there actually is other offers.
