Here you agreed you wanted to purchase the price for X (Which could have been high or low, you should have enlisted the services of a professional to represent you, which you did not), the seller agreed to sell it to you for X, so that is the market price of the property.The appraisal is not performed as a means of safeguarding your interests, and even though you pay for it, it is not actually your property depending on the state (some states do grant you ownership of the report).

It is fine to have a few agents looking on your behalf unless and until you sign an agreement with someone to represent you exclusively.

In return for their work, an agent will typically expect to represent you in your transactions as a buyers agent or sellers agent and earn their commission from representing you and puting good properties in front of you. 

Hi @Glenn D.I'm a representative with SmartMove.

In Missouri and many states you have to fully disclose in all forms of marketing and contact that you are a licensed agent, and you're looking at this house to buy, not representing them as an agent.

If the borrower will have seven to ten financed properties, the mortgage loan must have a minimum representative credit score of 720; all other standard eligibility policies apply.DU will determine the number of financed properties for the loan casefile based on the following approach: If the Number of Financed Properties field is completed, DU will use that as the number of financed properties.

I think they have resources for agents who represent or what to represent investors.

@Cyntnia Brooks you can always contact sections 8 and ask to speak with your tenants representative/case worker.

Make sure if they are representing an ARV value make them provide ARV comps.

@Chris Mason My lease doesn't state anything about a representative or agent.
