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.

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

Fast Rising HOA Fees on NYC Condo, No Budget Provided

My wife and I are first time homeowners and could use some advice on a situation we've been having with our management company and Board. We bought a condo in Brooklyn two years ago, and since then our HOA fees have climbed dramatically. In August of last year, our fees were increased by ~30% and just yesterday we received notice that this new figure would be increased by 16% as of June 1st. The by-laws for our building state that ten days before such a change goes into effect, the Board must provide unit owners with the itemized budget upon which the new numbers were based. This didn't happen last year, and when I asked the management company about it, they just kept vaguely insisting the Board had done due diligence. After I kept pressing, they finally sent a budget that was several years old, so obviously not the one that the new numbers were based on. When I asked the management company for contact information for the Board to get further clarification, I was told that th

How to create fidelity investments current bank statement for lender during escrow

I transferred a certain amount to my bank account to complete the minimum down payment required. The bank wants a current statement of the transaction. Unfortunately, fidelity only does quarterly statements so a December statement is not available and we are due to close next week. I called fidelity and they they can only provide a letter but the bank said that won’t suffice. Any way I can find or make one of my own that has my account number/name along with all the recent month’s activities? submitted by /u/bodaciousbeans [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/zmnnqo/how_to_create_fidelity_investments_current_bank/
