| Property Appraisal – What is it
used for? The lender usually hires someone to do the property appraisal. You can
request to hire your own, the lender still has to approve the appraiser you
will be using, but if you hire your own, you may be able to negotiate a
lower price. There is an appraisal fee, so rather than allowing the lender
to choose the appraiser at your cost, you might as well choose him/her
yourself. The appraisal amount determines your loan amount so be very
careful about the appraiser you choose. Make sure this person is reputable
within the industry. The cost of the mortgage loan insurance is also based
off of this number.
