I have two questions. 1. If your assessment came in $1k above your accepted offer, did you safely underpay? 2. Do you find that sellers with more renovated units are less likely to budge from the listing price compared to non-renovated units?

From my experience 9 times out of 10 your assessed value is going to be right around your offer, give or take some

1. Yes
2. Probably subjective on the seller. We just bought a home at $650k when ask was $675k. Home was completely renovated two years ago. Seller didn't counter to our initial offer of $650k, but the house was way overpriced. We still overpaid, but are happy with the purchase.

Hi all, looking to buy a fourplex in Austin TX. Off market they will accept $625k “as is”. My only financing option is fha it seems since I don’t have 15% down. Current rents are $4300. It’s in south Austin part of 78704 but a really bad street. My thoughts are it’ll gentrify and I’ll condo regime it. Any major concerns, am I buying at the peak? Are there other financing options I should entertain? First house so a bit nervous. Thank you!

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time.

Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat
