I don't understand real estate... I am purchasing a manufactured home with list price $89k and paying $10k down. The "Valuation Report" from the lender says the home is worth $120,300. So did I just gain equity by buying it? Or is it funny money so ignore it?

Stuff like that I don't understand at all.

I would ask though... if they value it higher than the replacement cost... are you then paying too much on insurance.

Smart. If you don’t have full replacement cost, you only get a percentage of the value. If you are underinsured, you get penalized for that. It’s all a racket to pay you as little as possible.

Look who lives on the property! Meep! Meep! And his nemesis lurks in the woods per neighbor. 20210803_213809.jpg

It appears we have a family of roadrunners on property. One with a red breast and one without. I think we've identified the area of trees they are living in. We will leave brush intact there.
