I brought this to the seller but they don't believe it's accurate and stated that independent appraisals are often low and that the property would likely appraise at a higher price if under contract.

I wonder if i have to change my strategy in this market and buy it in cash, i thought HML. you brought up a good point, if its not considered cash, then yes, my lender would not delay finance it.

The remodel brought great value to the home, and met all of our expectations to flip or keep this investment.

Last year, it brought 36K in gross rent.

There is a requirement to provide mitigation for any fill brought into the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).

Then brought into an OOS syndication as it really mitigated my risks, put the book knowledge to work and allowed me to learn, while earning.

Just that it was brought to the board and was not approved.

They may have breeds that would cause them to cancel/raise your insurance if a renter brought them onto your property.I love dogs and cats (and other animals); I applaud landlords that allow pets (with a pet deposit, and monthly pet rent addition).  

Also @Deanna McCormick, I like the point you brought up about the late fee.

If he is 3 months behind the bank would probably happy just with the note being brought current and would over look you assuming his mortgage.
