Seller has ongoing litigation against a lender involving an ADU loan

Hello, we are in contract to buy a real estate investment property in La Mesa, San Diego county.

During our due diligence we learnt that the seller has an active loan they took out to build an ADU from a lender called Mosaic. The seller was working with a general contractor firm who helped them file for the loan. The loan is about 100k at 10% APR over 10 years.

The lender paid the GC in full. Permitting for ADU was done, some construction work and inspection was finished (foundation was laid, utilities were brought in). The GC eventually vanished and files for bankruptcy. This was a big news in San Diego, GC being MultiTaskr.

There is a class action lawsuit against the lender implying them being part of a scheme with MultiTaskr that have defrauded hundreds of people in similar way.

Now, our title company says that there is no loan/lien associated with the property. There are no active judgements.

I am wondering if in future the seller loses the case and lender somehow gets a judgement against the seller instead can they place lien on the property retroactively. Would we have any potential exposure?

Title company says no. But I would like to get advise from folks 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...

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/
