Good advice. Too many people have overextended themselves to get into a home and are losing their home now to foreclosure.

Unfortunately, due to the issues referenced above, many lenders have become "gun shy" as it relates to approving loans for those with bad credit and for Jumbo loans. Therefore, it is important for mortgage brokers to have a well developed network of lenders with the ability to help a broad range of borrowers.

In addition, it is important for brokers to read and learn about all of the guideline changes that occur daily. You could find a deal for a customer today, but by tomorrow that bank no longer is willing to honor that deal if it is not already locked in.

Intersting times...

yup, thats a bit tricky part for a person that is going to buy a home for the first time. Home Loans are not always coming in a regular structure. so, for that you may need to grab one with some research.

i do agree with the concern that many of the lenders are worried about the money they have invested with the prospective "high ticket".

but it is really a concern that those bad loans need to be tackled when it first come to the shore within few months,so it will not pile up and thus will not turn into a bad loan.

so the lender should take care about the bad loan beforehand and should sell the property to some another prospective

Hi geauxkw,

It is the buyer who decides what type of a loan he/she would go for. I don't think the seller has anything to say in regards to this. Did your seller give you any reason as to why they do not want a rural development loan?

Hello geauxkw,

Adonis is 100% correct, you should really talk with your Attorney and have straighten this out with the Seller's Attorney - good luck!

does the seller happen to be a bank or other type of financial institution? i'm just wondering, as that may explain the situation better.

George,

Do you think the seller wants the buyer to use him or her as the loan officer?

i'm not seeing that as a possibility here. my take is that it's more likely an institution that isn't crazy about what the usda requirements will end up being on that institution's part. similarly, we find that some of the lenders selling their foreclosed properties won't allow us to provide fha loans (unless they're rehab).

i don't like the seller of a house calling the shots, but sometimes it becomes necessary, and particularly in the event that it's a bank-owned house.

Sometimes the lenders pay the amount to the seller in installments.aka 30 % 30%, 40 %.I mean the payment goes at the different milestones to the seller.

In this rural development loan it could be possible that the installment could be in more time frame or the amount is divided in 4-5 installments.

I am just guessing because this situation hardly comes in to the real scenario.
