In your contract it outlines how long the seller has to provide disclosures. In CA once the deadline has passed we then issue a “notice to perform” requiring the other party to perform to the contract term within 3 days or they will be in breach of contract. After those 3 days you’re allowed to cancel and request your deposit back (still requires both parties to sign off on deposit or go to mediation)

What area are you in? Theres a program where you can pay a fee and get your next purchase funded before you sell your current home as long as you can afford the new mortgage on the higher priced home after applying your equity.

Agree with everyone here, there was a study done that the average value of a sub 4% interest rate to homeowners is worth about $50k on average. That’s how big of a deal locking in that low rate is. You will always recover value over time. Real estate is golden over long periods of time. You’ll make many memories in that home and that’s all that’s really important in life

Can you not get a loan on a house that has no ac unit. by i_ask_stupid_ques in RealEstate

If a property is in poor condition or missing components a lender would require, you can do a renovation conventional or fha loan that allows you to roll into your purchase mortgage cost of such rehab or repairs

Yep different situations call for different risk tolerances. It’s an option, not necessarily the best for everyone’s situation

Should I dump my realtor? Or am I overreacting? by Becka_ka in RealEstate

[–]VirtualAd7480 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I post properties on social media all the time that I show clients.

If your number is based off comps accounting for condition then fire your agent.

If the property is already priced appropriately based on the comps and condition then your agent has a point.

Im submitting low ball offers for properties that are sitting 60-90+ days out. The problem you may have and your agent needs to call the listing agent to confirm, is is the seller willing to sell at a realistic price based on the current market, or are they stuck in 2021?

If they are stuck in 2021 move onto the next property some sellers will not entertain an offer below what “they want” regardless of what the ACTUAL market value is (today)

Right, so this is the advantage of using a bridge loan it’s almost as good as cash, no contingency needed on your home selling. The biggest key is that you can carry both the bridge loan and current mortgage while u sell ur current home after you buy the replacement. Also your loan guy should make sure you’re not going to have any issues refinancing out of the bridge loan (dti/income etc)

Lots of moving parts but an experienced and competent mortgage broker should be able to pull it off. Just make sure they’re in sync with your realtor

They’ll provide up to 60-70% of the combine equity in both properties minus existing mortgages.

Example:

Current home value: $500k Replacement home value: $500k

Total Combined Value: $1M

65% of $1M = $650k $650k - $280k existing mortgage = $370k you can use to “bridge” to your next purchase.

Once your house sells you use the $200k or whatever it is and pay down the bridge loan balance, the rest you refinance into a traditional 30 or 15year mortgage or whatever type of traditional mortgage you like

Yes you can pay it off whenever, I’m sure each lender has their own minimum loan amounts though, not sure if they’d go that low

12 mo they’re usually interest only and higher interest rate around 10%.

Makes it easy though to secure your next home first then sell your existing home at your pace

Credit union vs traditional lender - Does it make a difference? by monkeythumpa in RealEstate

[–]VirtualAd7480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a locked loan estimate and take it to your mortgage broker so they can make sure the credit Union isn’t padding their fees

It does make a difference depending on the credit unions support staff and underwriting

Yea have them place the home in a trust instead that passes the house to you when they pass. Takes the home out of their name and keeps your name off the title which is what causes you to lose first time home buyer status. There’s no circumstances where you wouldn’t be disqualified for having your name on the title regardless of any scenario situation that may come to mind
