This becomes a big issue when buyers just starting out don't understand the tax situation and shop online based on price.

I will be moving to another state on a pcs military order in less than 2 weeks and I still haven't found a buyer for my home.

Depends on the lender and the type of loan the buyer is looking for.If a person doesn't have 2 years or more of rental income on their tax returns, some lenders might not include it.

When the end buyer buys the property, they have to pay holding costs is my understanding, is that correct?

Remember, if this is a deal breaker for you now, other buyers will look at this the same way. 

This really only happens with appraisers do it, or buyers who want to verify.Most ikely, the agent didn't know the real sq footage. 

Hi BP community,Im a first time home buyer and I need some advise on where to start with seeking a conventional loan. 

Is there anyway to verify because the last thing I would want is a problem for the new buyer and me because the old owner didn't want to dish out money to put in a drive way on his property.

I'm looking for recommendation to an escrow company that can close a "subject to the existing financing" without having the lien holder to approve of the assumption of the loan by the Buyer for a deal I have in Tacoma, WA. 

I do not want to inherit properties through foreclosure, so I will be focusing more on the ability of the buyer to pay and the equity plus likelihood of an upcoming sale .
