Fha appraisal

Hello,

I have applied for a FHA loan, the property I applied for has a setup of a business and a house. The house is 3,300 sq ft and the business is an outbuilding with 1500 sq ft. The house has one adress, the outbuilding has a different number address under the same parcel. The house is zoned residential, the outbuilding has a special zoning as commercial but with limited use. The lot space for the house is bigger than the lot space for the outbuilding.

For what I understand FHA loans allows mixed used as long as 51% or more is residential plus other details. Well, the case is the property did good with FHA appraiser with the other details except for that 51% rule.

According to the lender company. The appraiser interpreted that the whole property is commercial even though zoning says contrary and there is a house. To get this interpretation he did not measure what is allowed to be used as commercial.

The bank turned down the offer because the appraiser did not measure correctly the use of either the residential or commercial. His interpretation was totally off the reality of the setup of the property. The bank wouldn't do a second appraisal.

I could be wrong, I am not an expert, but nowadays there is a higher number of appraisals being done therefore there are higher risks of committing honest mistakes.

What would you do in my case? Just get another lender? Or if the appraiser is wrong, what to do?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
