BTW Jely33,

You know what would be truly incredible? If you got a letter from your County reducing your taxes DRASTICALLY because your property value has so "crashed". Betcha you don't....

My understanding (and I'm not an appraiser:disclaimer) is that an appraisal on a home not in distress should not have all distressed property as comps. Some Lenders will even allow up to 6 comps and allow you to go a little out of the immediate market if there is absolutely nothing but foreclosed properties in your market, to find regualar comps. I guess it depends on how conservative versus how aggressive the Lender is.
This is where the reason for the loan becomes important too. You would probably get better options with a rate and term refinance (to reduce payments) over, for instance, a cash out loan., or with an FHA over a Conventional loan.
I say look into other Lender options so you have enough information to make an informed comparison, and therefore, decision - Thu Oct 8 2009, 21:26
