But what if an appraisal could be an OPTIONAL step in your acquisition process? When you buy properties with Seller Financing, appraisals can indeed be optional. In this episode, Jeff discusses the situations in which optionally choosing to have an appraisal could be very helpful in your acquisition and finance process.
