Help me save this deal!!
Bank notified me days before closing gift money wont do for an investment property. I in turn l learn I can sell assets (IE vehicles) and that will do. I return the gift money to my father, and sister, 12k apiece. I now sell a vehicle to my father for 24000$. Great. Still am short because the withdrawn money from my account is not viewed as repayment but as a further decrease of funds, in ADDITION to the gifts.
Stressful, educating experience here. Something my ******* mortgage company could have let me know a month ago when I submitted all the gift letters and bank statements, etc.
Anyway - before I get too far gone here, this is my question:
Closing should have been on Tuesday - seller is accommodating and is ok with me working on securing funds for mortgage.
Is it too late to approach them about owner financing?
I was thinking about presenting him with an offer something to the tune of 50K down (20%) and even pay it off over 5, 10 years. Or offer more - perhaps as much as 100K.
I am sick with this mortgage company because of several issues ive had with this transaction and if I could cut them right out of the equation, I'd love to. Theres a lot to this story here but here is a condensed version.
Back info:
I own a 4 family that I currently live in.
This is a 3 family home, for 250k.
Any advice, thanks.
