I finally found a property I like but the seller’s realtor reached out to my realtor and said she was canceling the listing because the seller is mean and unreliable. She also said the seller doesn’t plan on fixing any thing which is important because I’m using FHA. My realtor is saying to back down from the deal but I don’t agree. The only thing I can imagine going wrong is that we discover something during inspection and the seller refuses to fix it. I’ll only be losing the cost of inspection

Huge red flags. If the seller's agent is ready to back down, something is really off.

Id still go for it but if it needs to be completed fixed then your financing isn’t going to work. Agent already said seller isn’t fixing

Yeah let this go. Too much of a mess from the start

I’d find out more information on why they said the seller is unreasonable. And if it doesn’t seem that bad or you don’t seem to be getting the whole story - I’d try to reach out to the seller directly if you think this house is worth it.

I’m a FT home Owner and sometimes things get muddy with agents and all the people involved - after being told something by my agent I ended up reaching out directly to seller and we came to an agreement! Worked out cause I got the house! Also the house was tenant occupied and we were told the same thing by the agents (the tenants are unreasonable and not trustworthy) after speaking with them directly we got them to move as we discussed within days.

I recently sign a lease. The apartment will put my security deposit into an interest-bearing account and requires me to fill out a form W9. I will join EY this June and just wondering if this is ok in terms of the independence rule. I guess the apartment will put my deposit in some sort of funds. Anyone with EY has experience? Reading the independence brochure, looks like it does not specify something related to this scenario but just wanted to confirm . TIA!

We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then.
