[quote=Ricechex]Hello All,
1) Any recommendations for a good house inspector?
2) I have an approved 30 year fixed loan, San Diego County Credit Union for 4%, no points. My credit score is above 740. Anyone know of anything better for 30 year fixed?
3) I believe the appraisal will come in higher than the purchase price. Would it be in my best interest to get the inspection first, negotiate any repairs and then order the appraisal?

2) Try some online lenders through Zillow, they beat 4% for our recent refinance. But, depends on your information…
3) Your appraisal will not come in higher. They appraise by market value. If you are offering amount “X” and it is accepted then that is the market value.
