Escrow and Major Repairs needed to close
Hello,
I'm trying to decide what's the best route to take. I've listed the info below on property, but my lender needs all the below fixed in the next week to stay on track to closing. I was expecting to fix these in the next year, but not all at once. I've already invested $2k into purchase ($1500 for EMD, $500 for Roofstock fee). Should I pay to get estimates for everything and hope it's manageable or cancel? With interest rates rising, I checked with another lender and they're already in the 5's. Thank you in advance!
Loan Info:
$74500 Purchase Price (Down Payment $18,093)
Loan Amount: 59,600
Interest rate: 4.375% (Redfin estimate listed as $121k/Appraisal listed as $74,600)
Repairs Required:
