We received a CTC on a property a couple of weeks ago and we're awaiting the seller to set a date. The lender, traditional bank, issued a cleared to close to our attorney at that time. Can the bank now cancel the mort. due to these coronavirus fears? We'd lose our deposit as we removed to mort. contingency since we were cleared to close by the bank.

Can anyone recommend a good handyman and electrician for the Albany and Troy cities in NY?  We had to let go of our PM team and we're managing from afar. They had not managed a couple properties right, so there are some items which need to be corrected and that is why we're looking for a good handyman and electrician to help fix said issues.

So, I guess you're not a fan of Morris Invest?

I like the glue down LVP vs the floating LVP because you can easily replace just a single piece.

 Click is better if you need to replace a plank.

@Mike A. Since you don't own the property yet, the present owner will have to rent it out. The underwriter will scrutinize each lease. In your contract you can ask to approve the new tenant. In your purchase contract include  the lease back terms for the present owner and daughter for the two units. You would need to find out how the underwriter handles m2m leases.

 The bank gave me a current rent income and expense sheet and then after I take over. I was going to inform the underwriter is wanting to become a short term tenant and I have someone that will be taking over the vacant unit the following month with a signed agreement. I already asked a few friends and a family member; all who rent. They all jumped at the opportunity to move into the vacant unit.

@Mike A. why would a realtor and attorney ask you to commit mortgage fraud. If you can get a legitimate renter then submit that lease. If the loan will be sold to Freddie or Fannie, you could get a trip to the nearest federal pen for the low low cost of $1M and 30 years. Do this ethically.

You miss understood, or prob. I didn't post correctly. Ask if I have a friend or family member who is looking to rent short term and present that to the lender.

 That's exactly what happened in my market.  Amazon relocated away their distribution center and another major employer moved their plant to another state.  1800 jobs lost in a town/county of 9k/30k.  People left town.  Lots of bank foreclosures.  Lots of real estate at foreclosure prices.  The problem is that there isn't enough demand for people to buy or rent a house to live in long/medium term.

True. One of the reasons why I stay around major metro areas. 

Anyone?
