Brad Birky Buyers can't get financing due to zoning
27 August 2024 | 12 replies
Here are the Fannie Mae guidelines for legally non-conforming properties:If the Property's characteristics are legally non-conforming, you must:ensure the Borrower executes the Modifications to Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement (Legal Non-Conforming Status) (Form 6275);confirm whether, if fully or partially destroyed, the Property's Improvements can be fully rebuilt to the pre-casualty condition per current laws, zoning requirements, and building codes; and if the Property’s Improvements cannot be fully rebuilt to the pre-casualty condition, evaluate if the as-rebuilt Property will support the Mortgage Loan at the current Tier, and document your analysis in the Transaction Approval Memo.To assess the Borrower's ability to rebuild Improvements on a non-conforming Property to a level that will support the Mortgage Loan at the current Tier, you should consider: conducting a threshold analysis to determine the resulting actual amortizing DSCR if the reconstructed Improvements cannot be rebuilt as-is per current law; the likelihood of a casualty event (e.g., wind, earthquake, fire, flood, mine subsidence, etc.); the percentage of damage to the Improvements at which the Property’s jurisdiction will require the Property be rebuilt to current zoning and land use requirements (i.e., the destruction threshold); which Property characteristics the destruction threshold percentage applies to, such as market value, assessed value, replacement cost, or unit count; for Properties with multiple buildings, if the destruction threshold percentage applies to each building, or all buildings as a whole; the replacement cost to rebuild per current requirements for zoning, and land use; the Property’s continued marketability, and economic viability; the amount and type of Borrower-maintained insurance coverage required per Part II, Chapter 5: Property and Liability Insurance, Section 501.02C: Ordinance or Law Insurance; insurance loss proceeds payout, compared to increased rebuilding costs, including from building code changes, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance, and the municipality's local zoning requirements (e.g., green compliance for new buildings, etc.); the sufficiency of estimated insurance proceeds from ordinance or law insurance and other coverages to repay the Mortgage Loan in the event of partial or full casualty, or condemnation; and for a Tier 3 or Tier 4 Mortgage Loan, if requiring execution of the Limited Payment Guaranty (Form 6020.LPG) would mitigate the risk of the as-rebuilt Property not supporting a Tier 2 Mortgage Loan.

your credit score would not plummet, but you are still responsible for the debt so it will still show up on credit and it will impact your ability to get credit.The only way for her to truly buy you out is to refinance and take your name off of it.My recommendation would be to sell the property, as you may be on good terms now but that does not mean you will be on good terms in the future.
Tyler Bettencourt property tax due while my property is for sale

You asked about a property you have listed for sale and property taxes that are coming due and the consequences of not paying them until the property sells.Generally, the local taxing authority will impose an interest penalty on any unpaid balance after the due date with a long grace period before you would have to worry about unpaid property taxes affecting your ownership of the property or your ability to sell.In all likelihood, the property taxes will become a part of the closing and will be deducted from your proceeds at the time of sale.By the way, property taxes are always in first lien position ahead of any other debts like mortgages.
