Updated: November 25, 2022 By Robert Farrington

Appeal Home Appraisal

If you've been through the home purchasing and lending process before, you know it is extremely tedious. You have to fill out long applications, get a bunch of paper work in order, and so on. In general, it is a lot of "hurry up, then wait". But the biggest factor most people are waiting on is the home appraisal.   Well, last week, after a period of waiting, we got the appraisal back on the house we were looking to buy, and it ended up coming in a full $70,000 below our offer price, and well below fair market value to similar properties inside the same development. SO IRRITATING!

By Dr. Margaret Curtis, WCI Columnist (White Coat Investor)

My husband and I recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary (although, now that I think about it, we didn’t observe the occasion with anything more than a “nice job, babe.” We need to learn to live a little). Twenty years, two medical careers, three kids, six dogs, and many, many conversations about money later, we don’t just have shared financial goals: we have learned how to think about money in the same way.

Don’t Try to Get Rich Twice

December 6, 2022 by Ben Carlson

Before becoming one of the most important movie studio executives of the 1970s, Robert Evans took a break from the glitz and glam of Hollywood to work for his brother’s apparel line, Evan-Picone.

The company was so fashionable in the 1960s that every investment bank was pushing them to go public. Before going that route, Robert’s brother Charles put a call into Charlie Revson, the founder and owner of Revlon. After six months of back-and-forth negotiations, Revlon agreed to buy Evan-Picone. The deal was for $12 million (which would be more like $100 million today).
