Find out less than a week before closing of delays (Wells Fargo)

Bought a house in NC, for weeks I was checking in with the mortgage guy to make sure nothing would be delayed, etc and he said "we're right on track" and "no news is good news".

We are now supposed to be closing on Wed. Dec 4, he calls me at 4:59pm on Wed night (before long Thanksgiving weekend) and tells me closing is going to be delayed because they can't get in touch with title company. Apparently they've been calling the wrong number for weeks and just now decide to tell me. I had furniture, movers, utilities, etc all scheduled for closing day or a day after. Not to mention I apparently lose thousands of due diligence money if the closing is delayed. We didn't have due diligence in the state I'm coming from so I'm not sure if there is any way around it.

I'm beyond angry, since I've been in contact with him for weeks asking if there are any issues that would delay closing so I could start working on them. I'll never use WF (or a big bank) again after this. Definitely getting the "you're just a number" feel throughout the entire process.

Do I have any recourse if we lose the due diligence money because of this? Like so many other people on here, my Realtor warned me against using Fargo for the mortgage for this exact reason, but I've been with them for 20 years and just figured it would go smooth because of my history with them.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
