Got an offer on my second flip
Everything has went smoothly. Bought the house for 12k, put in 27k in reno. Listed for 78k and got offer in 11 days for 75k which I accepted. She quickly ordered an inspection and sited 3 very small items which have been rectified. Appraiser valued it for a little over agreed price of 75k. He turned appraisal into the buyers mortgage company. The mortgage company then rejected the loan because they saw that I bought the house for 12k and then selling it a few months later for 75k. I have sent my agent my cost rehab spreadsheet as well as before and after pics of the property and she sent to appraiser to give to underwriter of mortgage company. I haven't gotten word back yet if this will work. I will also say that this is a USDA loan. They said if I had the house at least a year, that this wouldn't have happened. Has anybody ran into this? How did you remedy it? Does this happen a lot? Thanks.
