Common pitfalls

What goes wrong — and how to avoid it

AVMs vs. real appraisals

Some private deals accept an AVM. Confirm what the lender requires — AVMs cost less but carry less weight.

Property condition surprises

Private files often involve distressed or unique properties; expect adjustments.
