What are the Fannie Mae / FHA guidelines?
I am selling a home to someone that is getting a FHA/ Fannie Mae home loan. Here is the deal. When I bought the house I paid $25,000 for the house 5yrs ago. I know that the house & property value automaticlly go up. So we ageed on a price of $33,000 thats w/ some funiture, washer/dryer, & appliances. The house got appraised for $25,000, by the appraisal people, saying that the Gravity heaters in the floor were inadiquit. Then they said, on the appraisal that there was possible Lead Paint and/or Aspestos. Just the possiblity took the appraisal down to $23,000. My issue with this is… When I got the home 5yrs ago I was a first time buyer and these were not even mentioned on that appraisal then. I know there is No lead paint and I don ‘t think there is any aspestos either and the heaters work fine also. Why were these issues now? And how can get the appraisal amended to get more $ than what I paid for the house? Its an older 1 & 1/2 story house, 50+ yrs old.
FHA has more restrictive guidelines than most other lenders.
Just because the appraisal for the buyer came in short does not mean you have to lower your price. You and the buyer agreed on a purchase price. If the appraisal is short then the buyer has to come in with the difference.
For the purchase price of your home financing this home $33,000 @ 6% the payment would be $197/mo at 9% the payment is $265/mo. MAYBE THE BUYER NEEDS A NEW LOAN.
FHA has certain requirements about disclosure and habitability of a home that it take into account. Any home built before 1978 will have the possibility of lead paint. It’s what they used to make paint before then. If you have an acoustic ceiling (the cottage cheese stuff on the ceiling) you may have asbestos. This was used in homes built in the 60s for its fire resistance.
