My friend got the loan and the valuer’s comment turned out to be just a comment. Any that valuer looked dodgy to my friend and I. We don’t think he is very professional—he is originally from a 3rd-world South-Asia country and was dirty and he didn’t smell too good. We were shocked to know he was the valuer we were…[Read more]

Because i want to fork out less cash for down payment. If it's valued at $650K most banks will be happy to lend you 80% i guess. that means i can borrow $520K. But the actual selling price is only $530K which means i only need to fork out $10K. Could anyone else help me with my other…[Read more]
