market price of the home. For example, a tilted façade and moldy basement are highly noticeable, and will be reflected in the appraisal; however, not-to-code electric wiring and condition of the insulation or foundation, if not visibly apparent, will not. Some mortgage companies will require a more detailed home appraisal that borders on a mini inspection for loans such as FHA or VA. Those loan programs have specific requirements of what should and shouldn’t be in the house. A property that possesses any of the red flags can’t be approved until all of them are eliminated. If inspections are made properly, you’ll be able to know your future house’s exact conditions. Be absolutely sure that you have a trustworthy and reliable home inspector on your side, as essentially, the whole deal now depends on them.
