I think I fucked up

TLDR: no final walk through, seller didn't complete repair

I closed this morning but per contract, seller has possession until 9pm (PST). My realtor called me and said the seller is out and hid the key under a rock, house is empty, and I'm free to go over and start moving. BUT the seller's ex is still there. The house has a new fence and gates weren't up yet but in the contract, it said gates needed to be up before 11/30. And they were. But then the ex took them down with the intention of re-hanging them. He plans to do it tomorrow but isn't sure if he'll be able to finish. He's left all his tools and supplies inside the home (garage) and will thus need access until the job is finished. Here's my big issue (unrelated to real estate): I'm buying this home alone. I'm a single late 20s female with a long history of sexual abuse while I was in the military. The idea of a strange man having access to my home and hanging around the property is TERRIFYING to me. I understand that my emotions are not this man's fault and he's likely a fine person. But fuck. Half reason I'm buying this place is so my dog has a backyard, so obviously I want the gates up. But this just doesn't seem fair. The contract said it had to be finished. I don't want to be unreasonable, so please share what a reasonable response to this would be. Thanks.

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/
