Or can i choose who does the appraisal so i can save more money? by l.eroy8623614 from Dayton, Ohio. Jun 6th 2014
Leroy, NO, you can not. The lender will control who does the appraisal as it is for lending purposes only.
No both the lender and USDA will want to know the value versus your purchase price. Also, as Tim said, you cannot choose your own appraiser. There are laws now in place to prevent and protect you from such practices.
