First time homebuyer-who should I get my mortgage with that will cause the least headaches?

I’m a first time homebuyer, I work for my family as a w-2 employee. Im in the process with Bank of America and actually just paid for a rate lock yesterday (regretting it now). Bank of America has been really weird asking for a BUNCH of documentation. Making me write letters for why I got a raise, making me send P&Ls and balance sheets for businesses I have filed but never actually “started”. They questioned payments coming out and into my personal account.

This being my first time I don’t know if that’s normal or not. Doesn’t feel normal to me so I’m considering eating the rate lock fee ($950 :/) and going with a mortgage originator who may not be so needy.

Am I bugging out and this is normal? Or do I jump ship and there’s a mortgage originator that can save me from this he’ll?

I have enough on my w-2 to suffice for the debt to income. I have enough of a down payment. My credit is 750+. I’ve never not had a job. Feel like BOA should be throwing a mortgage at me lol

Thanks everyone!

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/
