Are we getting lied to be our buyers lender?

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit.

Context: We are in Los Angeles California. My family has owned a mixed use commercial building since the 70s and we are selling it to a tenant. We are then taking the money and exchanging it through a 1031 for a residential income property. Our listing agent was asked to also represent our tenant in the purchase as he wanted this to be as smooth and quick as possible.

Our tenant/buyer is well qualified and has no issues getting approved for lending. He’s gone the route of chase bank taking on 50% of his loan through a conventional loan, 40% through SBA and 10% cash down. Chase has approved him, he’s released all contingencies and his EMD already and we’ve already found our upleg and are in escrow (ends on June 17).

Here’s where things aren’t adding up. Our escrow for the building was supposed to close May 14th. The only thing that’s left is an authorization from SBA and then our buyer will enter loan docs and close in a couple days. We were told the government (SBA) has a 10 day turnaround and that should have been the 16th of may. So we extended escrow until the 31st of may to be safe. We are now 25 days into waiting for SBA and the company that is doing the SBA loan has told us the final authorization is coming tomorrow. We’ve been told tomorrow now for 15 days straight. Our agent has told us he has other loans he’s opened after ours with SBA that have closed already. We’re getting sick of extending escrow on our building and I don’t want to ask the seller of our upleg for an extension because they are extremely aggressive and will likely expect compensation for an extension.

My concern is that the company doing the SBA loan is lying and they have messed up somewhere and they keep telling us SBA is behind and they’re backed up. I’m hearing from everyone that no one is waiting any longer than 2 weeks to hear back from SBA. We’re down to the wire here and it’s the only missing piece. Has anyone else had a similar timeline with SBA? Everyone’s emotions are high and tension is rising. We’ve made a lot of irreversible arrangements based on this closing 2 weeks ago. Thanks for all and any info.

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/
