Brian,
Do not even bring up the issue unless the buyers lender does.
I have read here also where several REI’s have had to deal with this issue repeatedly, but I have not had this problem very often.
why worry if the lender has not said a word?
IF the lender says “No”, based on the title seasoning issue, then find another lender.
they are out there.
And if you cannot, THEN come back her for some ideas.
I have a sandwich L/O where my tenant buyer is applying for financing and think he will be approved. I have read and heard from several sources that lenders are requiring the seller to be on title for 12 months now. How can I close this deal???
Please give me an example or someone who has done one of these lately to correspond with. I do not really want to let the owner on title know how much I have optioned the house for. However, if it is the only way I will probably offer to share the wealth and get something rather than nothing.
