Yes. We do an appraisal using LOCAL appraisers. (Using appraisers from large, national appraisal management companies can impact appraisal quality and slow down the loan process.)
*We also have the ability for seasoned investors (7+ deals completed) to use software on your cell phone that allows your superintendent to take pictures, rather than doing a full inspection.
**We also offer desktop appraisals for fix & flip loans. We need interior photos and a budget for this style appraisal.
