Hello, I just got news that my financing back is no longer funding my deal...
I am under contract to purchase a 2 family home in The Bronx (NY). After getting the loan approved and getting a clear to close, the bank has decided not to fund the deal. According to them, their investors have pulled their funding and therefor they can no longer find the deal despite already signing my closing disclosure and getting a final clear to close. I am not stuck scrambling to get alternative financing via a Conventional route rather then a no income verification/no doc loan. Homebridge, the bank who was funding the deal tells me that they are no longer doing these types of loans.
Now To make things worse, the seller is refusing to refund my 70k downpayment because according to my contract, once I got a clear to close and a commitment I would be responsible to close no matter what.
The purchase is a brick REO and these banks make buyers sign really tight contracts. I am hopping that I can get some feedback on how to proceed with this issue. This pandemic has put me in a position to potentially lose 70k if I can't get financing. No one knows what to do as these are uncharted waters. Help please!
