Open Question: Bank of America Mortgage Apprasial and Underwriters?
I am in the process of getting a mortgage from BOA. This has been an absolute nightmare with incompetent people. My closing date has come and gone and I had to get a 10-day extension. I went through underwriting, got a comittment letter and was approved with conditions (paper work) which I have met. It took 3 weeks for the appraisal to be done. Inspections done. Now a different underwriter at BOA says that everything noted on the apprasial and inspections must be done before they will close.

Everything? I can understand if it is major items, like a roof or foundation issue (which is not the case here), or safety items noted as “should be addressed immediately” What about “was not required at the time of construction, however it is recommended as a safety item”?

This underwriter told me BOA does not finance AS IS properties and will only finance foreclosure properties if they are in “good” condition. Is this ture? I sent the contract in with my application which clearly states that this is a Fannie Mae Foreclosure AS IS property and also told people at BOA on the phone. The majority of the market today is Bank-Owned Foreclosure AS IS properties.

I have completed all the conditions noted on BOA’s approval / comittment letter. This new underwriter all of a sudden has added new ones without signing an addendum to the prior condition addendum to change the conditions. Such as, wants my 2008 tax returns completed and filed with the IRS now. Prior underwriter who reviewed everything said in an e-mail “We do not require your 2008 tax returns because the filing due date with the IRS has not passed.”

Monday I will call BOA and ask to speak to a supervisor.

FYI The appraiser discounted a 20,000 in-ground pool because he said it wasn’t working. It does if you turn the switch to on.

Sorry this is long and Thank you for all answers

Resolved Question: Offer on house was rejected and seller upset.?
There is a house we are looking at that is 165k. It is priced “OK” to the comps, but this house needs a roof!!! We are going FHA and we made an offer of 158,900 plus 5000 in closing and said we’d put the roof on. The seller rejected it and said that offer insulted him. Should I give him a full price offer and tell him to put a new roof on? Or should I offer like 163k and when the roof fails inspection make him put a roof on? I’m amazed that he doesn’t know how bad our economy is and thinks he can get full price, I’d like to watch his greedy ass sit there in the house and go into forclosure if we won’t even negotiate.
