Partial Claim Questions

So I've had to do a loan modification in the first year of my FHA loan as the company handling my loan has denied my application for a deferral of some payments I missed due to a death in the family. I have been given a partial claim that includes my missed payments. As much as I hate it, it's unavoidable at this point.

I understand the part where I have to pay the partial claim when I sell my home, refinance, or if I finish my mortgage payments on the 40 year term.

My question is, can I use equity to pay it off if I sell or refinance?

Ex I have 40k in equity on a 225k loan and the partial claim is 25k, I want to refinance, would i be able to refinance the original loan amount of 225k or would I only be able to refinance the remaining 185k? Could I add the partial claim to the amount I want to refinance(210k)? Or would the 25k partial claim be due before the refinancing can occur?

Another question I have is concerns selling the home. Would the the partial claim have to be settled prior to the sell of the home or after?

Ex. 40k in equity on a 225k loan and the partial claim is 25k. Would i have to pay the 25k prior to selling the home, or would I be able to sell the home, settle the initial loan, then use the remaining balance of equity to pay the partial claim.

Thank you for any and all help.

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...

Pool fill without engineer oversight

We are in the process of purchasing our first ever home in CA and we just discovered in the disclosures that the new build property we are purchasing previously had a swimming pool which was filled without an engineer onsite to approve the work (details from disclosure below). Is this something we should be concerned with or not? Is it something we should have additional inspections conducted on? We are originally from the UK and not really sure what to do with this information and if it is concerning or not. A POOL DID EXIST PREVIOUSLY. COPING, TILE, GUNNITE AND REBAR WERE ALL REMOVED AND DIRT AND CLEAN DRAIN ROCK WERE USED TO FILL IT IN. COMPACTED FILL WAS NOT USED AND NO ENGINEER APPROVED THE DIRT AND DRAIN ROCK FILL IN submitted by /u/tommot82 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/dpyzw8/pool_fill_without_engineer_oversight/

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/
