9 Page 9 of 9 PROPERTY INSPECTION WAIVER DISCLOSURE NOTICE ABOUT APPRAISAL OF YOUR PROPERTY I have been advised that Bay Equity, LLC has given me the option of waiving the requirement for an appraisal to be completed for the property I am purchasing or refinancing under the FNMA DU Refi Plus Program. If your mortgage loan meets certain requirements, your lender may decide not to obtain an appraisal of your property as a condition for approving or granting your mortgage loan. A decision by your lender not to obtain an appraisal would be strictly for loan processing purposes and would not mean the lender has valued your property. Therefore, you should not rely on such a decision as support of the value of your property or for any other purpose. You may decide that you want an appraisal to protect your own interests in the transaction. For example, you may decide to obtain an appraisal of your property in order to confirm that you are not paying too much for the property. If you decide that you want an appraisal to be performed to protect your interests in the transaction, you will be required to pay for the appraisal. By signing in the space below, you agree that your lender may approve and grant your mortgage loan WITHOUT obtaining an appraisal of your property. I wish to exercise this option and hereby hold harmless from any valuation or property related issues. Borrower Date Borrower Date Borrower Date Borrower Date
