Can I use an appraisal to get homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about. </p></div>

Q: Does an awning add value to a house?

• <div><p>Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn&rsquo;t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer. </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 can I make sure my property gets the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home&rsquo;s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits&mdash;an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.</p></div>

Q: Are appraisals required for selling a property?

• <div><p>Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.</p></div>

It is my favorite auction in town. Some days they will auction off a $20,000 brand new piece of furniture and another day they will have one for $1750. You never know what you are going to get there. I would recommend going one time before you are ready to purchase anything because the...

He looked at it and took about five minutes and said he'd get back to me. He got back to me the next week and mailed me my appraisal so I would know what to ask for when I sold the car.
