Cogo Capital requires a recent (less than 90 days old), independent, standards-based, third party, as-is evaluation of every property used as security. BPOs, CMAs, or outside appraisals do not generally satisfy all those requirements. Your best bet: Go with ours. They are performed by local appraisers in your market, working at competitive rates, and doing the appraisal the way we need it to be done. The appraisal report will come to us and you will receive a copy.
