Studio mobile home - catastrophic raw sewage leak

I rent land in a mobile home park. Someone cut the sewer line under my home, and the home is listed for sale (and was when this happened). I am not sure who, but it happened when I was not home and after a park paid plumber fixed the park main sewer line after I filed a state complaint for raw sewage leaking in a cesspool from the main line (owned by park). A state inspector ordered the park to fix their leaking line. I got sick from asthma attack (sewer gas burned my nose) and was at the urgent care (later ER) when the park sent their plumber under my home. He buried the park leaking sewer line, which had been above ground, and someone cut the sewer pipe to my home. Possibly to drain the sewage, since the park lacked an access point to drain, someone cut my pipe. As I got home, the park maintenance guy and receptionist were taking photos under my home. I showered twice in 3 inches of sewage, when the main sewer line put 2 inches of raw sewage into the bathroom before I realized what was going on, and my sinks filled with sewage. The night after I filed my state complaint, I heard a faint sawing sound at that corner of my home. I do not know for sure if the sawing sound and my sewer pipe being cut are related. My friend said call the police or at least file a report, so I did. Sheriff said no one could do anything, unless an expert told him the line was cut. The park plumber refused to put it in writing to me when I asked. I clarified twice by phone he meant “intentionally cut.” I have a plumber coming out to possibly fix it by “getting paid out of escrow,” since the park plumber told my insurance it could have been a prior homeowner who cut it, which does not seem to make any sense, because I had no issues with backups until the main line leaked. Question is- the realtor still says the home can sell. She is great at what she does. Assuming the plumber can fix it, what is the market like for a mobile home in the Bay Area now? Assuming I fix the pipe. I have not had a working toilet since 12/14, lost wages due to being sick, and cannot buy the plumbing parts (veteran fixed income) until three days from now. The park has a sewage violation, and I am so angry that I will be sending my rent check by Fed ex, so I do not have to be in a room with park representatives.

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/
