need fha appraisal help?

Ask your agent for help. They should be able to provide the info on every property sold in the area and possibly neighboring areas. Since the price has been lowered so much, see what you can get the land appraised for. There may be some land that has sold in the area even if houses are not selling. Finally, you can find out when the tax assessor last assessed the property. The tax assessor can provide you with the comps that they used to come to the taxable value of the property. Good luck.

Get another broker.

Seriously...he doesn't have the contacts to make it work.

I underwrote FHA loans for 15 years and have NEVER had a property not to close because of LACK of RECENT comps.

FHA, experienced (that is the key), appraisers know how to make it work that is acceptable.

The problem is your broker.

An appraisal assesses the value of the domicile; i think you have been asking in case you will possibly desire to pay for an inspection, wherein case the respond isn't any, i does no longer. That roof must be thoroughly replaced. i recently dealt with my coverage employer inspectors and had my roof replaced with much less injury than the single on your photographs. you will possibly desire to pay for an inspection, despite the fact that it would fail and the inspector might aid you understand the comparable factor. $500.00 for maintenance? reliable success.

Have you tried hiring an appraiser? Just don't assume no one will do it. Otherwise you need to come up with the 20% and get a conventional mortgage

look for an fha certified appraiser. You may have to pay more but, if you're in love with the house then it may be worth it.
