Kevin Kim Questions Regarding Lien History of Prospective Tenants
2 February 2024 | 2 replies
Hello,Finally, we have found a good candidate tenant—a young married couple with a son and their parent, totaling 5 people.The Zillow credit check and background check did not reveal any negative information, like  what many have mentioned in this forum.So, I conducted an AAOA check, and it showed two lien histories from their father:Recording date: 06/xx/2019, Amount: $10,xxx, Filing Location: San Bernardino, CA, Document Number: 210xxxRecording date: 03/xx/2019, Amount: $30,xxx, Filing Location: San Bernardino, CA, Document Number: 96xxxI inquired about these, and he said one was due to a car that was totaled in an accident, asserting it wasn’t his fault.
Daniel Allen Double Closing- End buyer has conventional loan
2 February 2024 | 3 replies
I ALWAYS tell the wholesaler to make sure they are transparent with the end buyer and their lender because MANY times if they aren't transparent about the double closing then the underwriter will catch it last minute and bring up the fact that the current deed holder isn't the wholesaler and that will kill the deal many time.There are some underwriters that don't catch it and things go smoothly.Then there are some conventional lenders that aren't familiar with the process and think it's fraud and won't lend on it.So sometimes I inform the wholesaler to let the end buyer go direct with the seller, do a single closing, Increase the purchase price by the amount of the wholesalers spread and put the fee on the SELLERS side of the HUD because the lender WILL NOT pay for the wholesalers fee, but if it's wrapped into the initial AB contract (now between the seller and end buyer) then the wholesalers spread isn't brought up, it's merely a line item on the SELLERS side HUD and nothing to do with the conventional lender and it will close "100%" of the time because it's a normal ordinary closing to that lender then.
