Mortgage Appraisal Changes
I am refinancing for a lower mortgage rate what will the appraiser do?
I purchased my home one year ago and now I am refinancing. The appraiser is coming next week. What will they do? If a spare room and garage is messy will that affect the appraisal cost? Will they look in my closets? What if the appraised value changes good or bad over when I purchased it last year? Does that change the loan or my taxes?
Thanks Bill can you answer the part about value? What if the appraised value changes good or bad over when I purchased it last year? Does that change the loan or my taxes?I appreciate you sharing your expertise. 
The appraiser will not judge your housekeeping just the house. Hopefully you bought the property for a good price and you put a large down payment on it. Most places have not increased in value during the past year so the appraisal is vary important to you being able to refinance.

Too late to use mortgage contingency ?? PA state?
Hi I need timely advice.
I am under contract to buy a home. After a lot of negotiating with hard balling sellers I accepted the home inspection contigency.
(The roof is illegally installed so they gave money towards it)
I had food poisoning and was running a 104 temp when I was dealing with them. I realised that because of 2 of the 4 bedrooms are not heated and are in an attic that they can’t be called bedrooms.
The comps change dramatically with this house only considered a 2 bedroom. 
Now its too late to use home inspection as get out clause.
And the RE agent is related to the sellers so her attitude is that I should just buy it and sell it immediately if Im not happy.
My mortgage lender may have just ordered an appraisal.
Is there anyway I can ask my mortgage person to turn me down ?
Im putting down 50%, so is it impossible for my mortgage person to say I was denied ?Should I tell them the new facts ?
Im really freaking out here. Any help incredibly appreciated
Wow, I’d hate to be the agent representing the sellers. Our opinions: Tell your lender the story and watch what happens. Don’t ask the lender to do anything but tell them to act in their best interest.
Did you get a seller’s property condition disclosure prior to the inspection? Was the inspector provided with such a disclosure?
In any event you really do need to do some detailed research on what can and can not be done not just according to the feds but according to your state laws. Here are some links to get you started:

State’s Laws passed in 2004: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/LI/CL/ACT/20040.HTM

You should go to our educational research page and research what the feds and other government agencies say about all that.
