Using Tax Return To Buy house (Source and Seasoning issue?)

Hello All,

So wife and I got a sizeable tax return, roughly 8k. We are currently renting and our landlord told us he was selling house and if we wanted to stay we could and he would have the buyers honor our lease or we could move on. We decided to look into buying a house. I got a pre-approval VA loan from Huntington and started shopping. We have found the house, offer accepted, paid earnest money and all is good. Maybe I am looking into this too much but I am worried about the seasoning. I had about 1200 in the account before the tax return, we just got married and we spent a big amount on our wedding and honeymoon so I am re-couping. I do make much more than the average 25-year-old (113k in Ohio), and deposited $1500 into the savings not too much later after the tax return with another 2k going into the savings this march. My worry however is that the 8k and 1500 have not sat in the bank account long enough and the underwriter will deny us the house loan. I didn't even know about source/seasoning until after all the offering phase etc.. when I decided to look into why a loan officer wants your bank statements. I guess what I am asking is, are we f'ed? Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

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...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
