This sounds complicated - the only thing I can add is that repairs ARE NEVER done with short sales. It just isn't going to happen. Your negotiator is right---all you can do is change the terms, AND it probably will kill the deal.
Banks are the least flexible entity to work a deal with...sounds like you might want to just get out of this and start over.... more
I highly recommend RE Trainers, they offer a two day crash course the weekend before you get your license. When I took my exam I had already seen 80% of the questions when i was at the crash course. They guarantee you'll pass, or offer you money back or another crash course free.

You need an attorney and you need one NOW.
This is a contract issue and unless there is a specific clause in the contract allowing the escrow to be cancelled unilaterally by the Seller (and there very rarely is) you have the right to proceed forward and close the deal.
If the seller refuses to cooperate an attorney will file suit for Specific Performance to force the seller to comply with the Purchase Contract. If this is a property you want then you need to get active immediately becuase any delay can only harm your cause and make it easier for the seller to "wiggle out" or press you past your contingency periods to a place where you cannot comply with the contract yourself.
It is vitally important that you proceed forward with inspections, appraisal, and any other activities associated with Closing the transaction on your end. You MUST be ready, wiling, and able to close as per the Purchase Contract in order to force the seller to comply also.
Again, it is important that you consult with an experienced real estate attormney as soon as possible. If you need a referral to such an attorney, I can provide one.

I would also add that you want to make sure that you are present for all inspection. Be present and ask questions as the inspector walks through the home and takes notes. The more questions you ask, the better understanding you will have of your new home. A good building inspector will welcome questions and will take their time explaining their findings. Inspections are your opportunity to learn everything you can about your new house.

I am surprised to hear that the cost per kWh is that high. Have you spoken with the leasing company about the situation? I would recommend getting the contact info from the seller and making a call right away. Find out the actual cost directly from the company to make sure your research is correct. Normally, the cost for electricity from a solar lease is comparable to what you would pay to the local electric company (even though they always advertise them as "saving you money").
The solar company should also be able to help you with your options. Explain the situation to them and find out how you can go about having the panels removed once you take ownership. As them about their cancellation policy. From the leasing companies I've spoken to, I have always hear that while the lease is transferrable to a new owner, it can be cancelled upon sale and the panels removed at no cost to the new owner. My recommendation to you is once they are removed, have a reputable roofing inspector come out and take a look to make sure that no damage was done during the removal and you won't have water intrusion issues in the future.
I would be interested to hear what they have to say. Please keep us informed.

Actually......it is outrages: i face #4. The occupant never paid, never had a contract......I'm shocked to find out that such people have ......rights.
I blogged about similar new scam: someone moves in a vacant property, changes keys, and......it is too much pain and $$$ for everyone to kick them out.... more
In LA county , the tax is based on 1.25 % of the purchase price of the property. Your yearly cost will be 8750 $. It will be split up into 2 payments.

Only an escrow company can do this. There are many quality ones out there. Be sure to make a good choice on the esrow company you decide to use.

It is illegal in California for a bank to demand a certain amount of insurance coverage to cover the loan. Insurance is designed to make you whole, not pay off your loan. An insurance policy will repair/replace your home if you experience a loss. The policy will fix your home, not pay off your loan.
With that being said, many banks still try to make demands on how much insurance you can have. They only time they have a valid point is when your insurance limit isn't high enough to make you whole. They need the home to be insured at an amount that will rebuild the home should it burn down to the ground. They don't want home owners to walk away from a loan because there is not enough insurance to rebuild the home and now the bank is left trying to sell a pile of ashes on a lot.
Lastly an HO-6 policy doesn't insure the building. Your insurance is for the everything inside the walls(sometimes that includes the actual wall on the inside) . How much coverage you need depends on the condo association's master policy and what they cover. Call the association and ask them what the master policy doesn't cover and then you will know where to start. A good agent is always a good source for insurance information. Find an agent that you trust and knows how the insurance policy works.... more
Shopping around is always the best way to get the lowest rate on insurance. Don't forget all your discounts to help get that rate as low as possible. You can get discounts for buying your auto, home, life, and business insurance from the same company.... more
You should find out how much coverage you need first. The reason I say that is because on a condo your building is usually covered by a master policy the you pay into with your association dues. The policy will cover the outside of the building and you will have to insure the inside. Call the association and ask them what the master policy doesn't cover and then you buy insurance to cover "the gaps". Most condo policies are anywhere between $150-$400 depending on where the condo is located, the amount of coverage you need, and yourself. The owner of the condo is always part of the consideration when it comes to the price of the insurance. Someone who keeps leaving the fire on the stove and burning dinners will be more than someone who never had a claim. I would love to give you an accurate quote if you are looking to renew your policy at a lower rate.... more
Our company would love to give you a quote and it's free. You should always try several places and compare rates and coverage. Price isn't everything or we would all be driving the Nissan Versa.... more
Hey Sam,
With this criteria I can get you into a FHA Loan with 3.5% down and a great rate and get you pre approved in less then 2 days. Then you can refinance in 6 months to a lower rate. Give me a call when you get a chance.

Unfortunately, this is not all that uncommon. Buyers have to jump through incredible hoops to get through underwriting.
The best way to describe this is that there are several layers and phases to underwriting approval. The initial approval is a 'pre-approval' where your initial documents are reviewed. Once your lender completes the appraisal, they do an other review, taking all of the property information into account.
It is quite common for them to come back to you and request additional information - they can drag this out as long as they like - honestly. Have patience...this too will come to an end...it's part of today's loan environment.
Good luck.... more
