Refinancing on home with ADU larger than primary
2 March 2021 | 5 replies
The lender also had a problem with the ADU having a separate house #, which is what the addressing department with the city of San Diego auto-assigns -- they wanted an "a"/"b" or "1/2" etc, not two separate numbers...not sure if that's a problem with Fannie Mae though.The did say to try credit unions since not all of them will sell the mortgage to Fannie Mae.We did think about trying to petition the city to switch the primary and ADU, but the two problems with that is a) There's almost a zero chance the city would get that done fast enough before rate lock expires and b) I worry that while it may be easy to switch the designation now, it may not be so easy down the line -- and if I ever want to remodel the first (original) house, i'll be limited to the 1,200 sq ft limit on ADU's if I can't get them changed back.I think the laws/guidelines just need to catch up with the current explosion of ADU's (at least in California)... so I did what I could, which was write to the federal representatives for my area...Obviously won't help my case now, but may be able to get things updated if enough of us speak up.

I am on hold for buying any other properties in the USA

If interest rates were ever allowed to return to normal levels in line with a nicely growing economy, the value of US real estate would have to undergo a correction so sharp that the explosion of the 2006-07 bubble would look like a walk in the park (otherwise real estate investing wouldn't be profitable at current prices).

What to say when hiring a real estate agent in Maryland?

I'm sure many of you can remember the Global Financial Crisis that occurred between 2007 and 2009 due to the government’s encouragement of broad homeownership induced banks to lower their rates and lending requirements,5 which spurred a home-buying frenzy that drove the median sales price of homes up by 55 percent from 2000 to 2007.BAs a result, Banks were handing out loans like candy to anyone and everyone, combined with the explosion of the United States run-up in housing prices fueled by demand, speculation, and exuberant spending to the point of collapse.This crisis damaged financial institutions globally which led to a loss of more than $2 Trillion from the global economy!
