The only con I can think of is that you don't have an updated appraisal of your property, but you can always hire an appraiser directly (or ask a Realtor for a market analysis, not the same but will give you an idea). sign the form and move on!

No con's only positives.. No appraisal, no underwriting of an appraisal, no property deficiencies need be addressed, less paperwork, the waver fee is $75, yet an appraisal is $300-$600.
