First time buyer and being naive. [KS]

Need some advice on this stuff I’m dealing with.

I got with a realtor and found a home I liked. Told her I’m a newbie, but I’ve been trying to get educated on the basics. We did a walk through, did the inspection(housemaster) and I took a trusted friend who has been working on homes forever. He let me know that it’s modular and they cut corners big time. He said if I buy it, the resell will likely be bad news.

I went ahead and signed off saying I’m taking it as is. Two days later, my lender called me and said the county is calling it manufactured/mobile and that my loan will be denied. I knew that it’s modular and took this as a sign to get out, because I was hesitating but signed off. Rookie mistake. The lender is also new to lending, which I did not know and found out today.

And then I get called again and I’m told I can get a conventional loan for modular but I told her I just want out. My realtor is telling me we might have to get an attorney involved because i signed off on taking it as is, but my closing isn’t until March and I haven’t been approved for a loan(yet).

I put down 1k earnest and did my 450 inspection. Can I back out and only lose this money? The lender even mentioned she would have to word her denial a certain way and I immediately got worried about this. I’m not trying to get sued.

I learned my lesson with offering too high and too quick and now I just want out, even though I’m fully prepared to pay for the home.

A google search is telling me I can back out before closing but I wanted to ask you all anyway.

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...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
