Buying another home with current home in forbearance…question for lenders?

A question for underwriters - as a landlord I took advantage of tenant not paying rent due to covid 19 by putting my current loan in forbearance in September of 2021. A guideline given by Fannie Mae and federal government over the summer was shared so that we wouldn’t have to evict them. I entered in contract for buying a home mid November or so but completely oblivious that they would dig to the fact that my current loan is under forebearance. I made payments within the 15-30 days in October and November as a safety net and underwriter asked for documentation on when forbearance ended. It doesn’t end until January. My question being that my credit is 750+ and 20% down for this new loan am I pretty much set up to fail here or is there a fair chance I get approved. My current loan has a balance that’s current many dated articles say I should be okay as long as I’m current but not entirely confident. Let me know if you have any input would be greatly appreciated.

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...

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...
