This is the general duplicate I found, though it is the same expect a single I was given. We have been removing FHA loan as well as they supposed the suggest upon the house… as well as afterwards sent the addendum. On a single partial it says you relinquish the right to stop sell of skill due to condition, structure, etc. On an additional it says you have 10 days to get inspection? Does this meant you can’t get out of stipulate even if the investigation turns out bad? I only got this paper currently (saturday) as well as they pronounced they have the have it behind by Monday – the initial day I could presumably get an investigation finished when the utilities won’t even be incited upon yet. WHAT TO DO?
{ 6 comments… read them below or add one }
Aren’t you using a realtor? He/she should be advising you.
Here is the thing:
1. If you sign something stating that you WAIVE the right to stop the sell due to condition, structure, etc….then you WAIVE it.
2. The inspection IS NOT required, and legally, they cannot stop you from getting one, and if you choose to get one, you have 10 days to do it in…but if you SIGN THE WAIVER, it doesn’t matter if the inspection shows $50K in termite damage, you still have to buy the house.
FHA does NOT require an inspection.
What to do? If you sign something like that, you are crazy.
No way in 40 forevers would I advise a client to sign such nonsense.
Definitely get your real estate agent involved – there is conflicting info in here. It’s basically saying if you want the property, you’ll take it as-is and they have no intention of fixing anything that is broken, etc. I don’t know why they’d want it back by Monday if you haven’t even gotten an inspection yet – it seems odd. BTW – FHA may not approve the loan if the condition is poor – they REQUIRE certain things be fixed before closing, so you need to be sure there’s nothing major wrong before giving up any deposit money for this place when you back out, or you need to be prepared to fix it out of pocket prior to close. If you don’t have a real estate agent, GET ONE to help you out here.
Any addendum supercedes anything in the actual contract.
However, your realtor should have told you this. I don’t know why you are posting this type of question here, when you are paying your realtor to advise you on these types of questions.
I didn’t read this whole post, but I have had this situation occur.
FHA does indeed require an inspection, but in my area they call it an appraisal, which is only done by a handful of appraisers, and has some very specific inspection criteria that the house must comply with.
The home inspection protects you, gives you the right to opt out or renegotiate if conditions exist, and I would never recommend a buyer enter into a contract without a whole home inspection.
Countrywide foreclosures always have a as is addendum. If you cannot get financing due to the condition of the property your realtor should ask them to do lender required repairs. If they are minor Countrywide generally will do them. Your lender should be helping you out. All foreclosures have as is addendum’s. If the property is in bad condition you should not be trying to do an FHA loan on it. Call your lender asap and describe the property and ask if they will have any problems with the condition.
***Also all Countrywide foreclosure properties have a Countrywide loan consultant who you can call about the property. If you are freaked out and your lender sounds unsure call the Countrywide consultant. They should help you out
