Common Sense Appraisals specializes in “subject to” appraisals for hard money lenders in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and across the United States of America.  With more than 25 years of construction experience as a general contractor and investor, Ed Nichols has personally inspected thousands of investment properties.  He identifies the deficiencies in a property that keep it from competing at higher market values and the potential cost for associated repairs.  Repair draw disbursements can be a challenge for lenders.  Common Sense Appraisals will be the lenders “2^nd eyes” and will inspect and validate the quality and completeness of the project.  This gives the lender the confidence that a draw disbursement is justified.  All appraisals and services are paid for in advance by the borrower/client.
