Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>

Q: How much can I borrow for a home addition?

• <div><p>While there&rsquo;s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.</p></div>

Q: Will land ever lose value?

• <div><p>Land doesn&rsquo;t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

The contractor was supposed to build us a livestock shelter with four separate 10&amp;#39;x10&amp;#39; areas and gates. He said that he would provide heated water troughs. He wanted to be paid for the materials and some of the labor up front. On July 13, 2024, we gave him a...

It was horrible. I had a plumbing leak at my property and they said they would come out to fix it several different times and each time I talk to them they acted like it with the first time we talked. I work without water for a week waiting on them. The last day they stop taking my calls, and...

I was asked what I wanted as far as the trees were concerned. I felt like they really listened to what I wanted. Not too much taken from trees, but to trim as needed off roof, fence and power lines w/o over doing the cutting. They were very good at their work, careful not to drop large limbs...
