Credit pull before closing

So I have a question I’m hoping someone can help me with. I am under contract for a house right now and I wasn’t aware of this but apparently I wasn’t supposed to open any credit lines during the closing process. I opened a credit card last week (the debt to income ratio wasn’t affected at all and my credit isn’t bad by any means its a 768) but I won’t be able to receive a bill in time for the closing because our closing date is August 10th and the bill wouldn’t come until the 19th. Our mortgage loan officer told us to basically send him a letter saying that I pulled credit but didnt receive credit due to this inquiry. He also told me that the underwriter can basically just cancel the whole deal without a bill, my mortgage loan officer has to see what the underwriter says regarding the letter. Should I just cancel the card altogether? Its through Chase and they said they can’t provide a bill before closing but they have a department that for loan purposes can show that you have a zero balance instead of a bill. Idk if that will solve the problem, I’m not really sure what to do. Idk if i should have them get me some sort of estimated minimum monthly payment. The main issue is that the lender will need to know the potential minimum monthly payment but at the same time wouldn’t proof of a 0$ payment give me an estimated minimum monthly payment of 25$. I really appreciate any help anyone could give me. Just tryna figure out my best approach here and what to do. I’m not sure if the loan purposes proof of 0$ balance will help at all,I don’t wanna open up any doors I don’t have to. Thank you in advance. My biggest concern is that I don’t want the deal to fall through altogether. I’d hope at the very least they would just extend the closing date 9 days so I could get a bill. This is regarding CT area.

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...
