Cant close because of insurance problems

I am in the end stages of buying a trailer park in FL. The only hang up is there is a structure on the property that is owned by the park so the bank is requiring me to get wind and flood coverage on it. It is just a portable shed that I would value at 5-7k. I have already got my liability and flood coverage squared away, but I was unaware of how much of a time consuming process it is to wind coverage in the state of FL. I am almost on week 4 of waiting for this coverage. I recently had to ask the seller for a 2 week extension of our contract. Our extension expires at the end of next week and the seller sounds adamant that he NEEDS to close by then. I don’t know what to do, I feel like it is out of my hands at this point. My question is have you guys ever been able to get the bank to let you close on something without having the proper insurance in place? I am extremely frustrated because the value of this building is less than 1% of the loan amount. Is there any products or companies that offer a temporary emergency insurance service for situations like this? I was also thinking about offering to give the bank the amount that the building is worth to hold until the insurance comes through. Just spitballing ideas here

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...
