Help With DREAMer Client (TX)

Last fall, I had a buyer sent to me by a trusted lender. They were pre-approved and ready to go, using an FHA with downpayment assistance. At the time, the market was difficult and finding homes in their price range was tedious. Around Christmas, they decided to put it off for a year in the hopes that they could save up some money and try again this year.

In late October, he called and said they were ready to jump back in. They got back in touch with their lender and we were given the go-ahead to start looking again. We've shifted into a buyer's market, interest rates are great, everything looked perfect. We found a house last Friday, but because they were traveling to Mexico for the holiday, he asked if they could have time to talk about it. I knew it was probably safe to wait, it's a neighborhood with a dozen homes for sale, each with over 100 DOM, agents offering all kinds of incentives to get them sold- now I'm glad I agreed to wait on writing an offer.

Today, I received an email from the lender that essentially said, "oops, my bad- I forgot to verify his citizenship, he's classified as C33 and not a permanent resident alien." He gave us no alternatives, basically just said "sorry, out of luck."

I have been "in the business" for five years, but only flying solo just short of two years, so this is a first for me. Most of the info I've come across today says they can only use a conventional loan, but I've also come across conflicting info that says there are ways around it.

I am absolutely livid. I'm angry with the lender and I'm angry with myself for not thinking to ask. I just want to fix it. I'd like to know what our options are. The lender left me to break the news to them, so I'd like to be able to go back to them with a "hey, we can't do this, but we can try this." They are going to be absolutely heartbroken.

Has anyone dealt with this scenario before, do you have any advice, or are we totally out of luck?

TIA for any helpful advice.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
