Underwriters.... do what exactly?

Trying to figure this out. They have to follow guidelines placed by a lender, so we should assume (trigger for a REAL auditor or compliance specialist) that they actually have enough critical thinking skills to UNDERSTAND the guidelines. Of course, when it's written in a professional language that requires thought, an interpreter is helpful. We know they absolutely, under no circumstances, are not allowed to do ANY math calculations. I mean, if the YTD increases by the same amount bi-weekly, where is that calculation located? They can't be expected to justify the amount on a pay stub without a cited formula and long form calculation provided by the borrower, can they? What about required documents that need "clarification". What clarity can a borrower provide if you have ZERO communication with human beings outside of the cave you live in? Required documents are merely a suggestion because a borrower will have to resubmit them multiple times before an underwriter will even glance at them. Seriously, are you just lazy or too scared to be a professional that holds themselves accountable for work ethics. Practical wisdom is definitely not a required trait for underwriting, so what consequences are there for under-performers? Can they actually say that they "do a good job" or is it just, meh....satisfactory is the pinnacle of their industry standards? As of now and the foreseeable future, I have absolutely no respect for people in this career.

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...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

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/
