1/16/24 – Have your buyers buy with cash, the refinance! We now have a cash buyer program where a buyer can purchase a property with cash and refinance after they close. Yes, there are fees, and the buyer will be paying a premium interest rate, but say you have a buyer putting 5% down and is pre-approved with us. We will show proof of funds and close all cash, then close all cash but put a loan on the property for the buyer. The buyer will put down the down payment, and there will be no contingencies! No loan contingency, no appraisal, nothing needed on the loan side! The fees on this loan are 1.5 Points plus 9.99%. We should be able to refinance most of these properties in three weeks or less. The difference in payment is only about $45.00 per day on an $800,000.00 purchase price, so that should not be the deterrent! The big deterrent will be the 1.5 points, but they will get the house! YAY! Please let us know if you have questions on this. Condo / Townhome issues we know of now. Properties can be financed with 10% down and are considered NON-WARRANTABLE: Scenic Hills – Insurance Mariposa – Litigation semi-cleared! Insurance a mess! Bouquet Canyon Village – Insurance Madison – Litigation – I heard an FHA loan closed in there! I am trying to find out if it is an underwriter error, or will it be okay to do FHA loans there? Cornerstone – Insurance Canyon Oaks – Insurance Brookside Walk – Insurance – NEW as of last week Shadow Ridge – Oak Park – Insurance Sierra Glen Condos – Insurance American Beauty Condos – The brown ones – Insurance – 50 Mil in coverage for 748 units is not nearly enough!
