I need to be out of my DFW area house by the first week of December- my choices are narrowed to closing first week of November and leasing it back at $100 per day (which totals slightly less than the mortgage payment), or wait until Dec 1 to close but risk the buyer backing out if the market tanks (debt ceiling, US defaults, etc. ). What would you do in my shoes?

What’s the issue with the sale/leaseback? seems like a great option if it’s already on the table

Honestly I think the likelihood of a market crash in 3-4 months is pretty low, and at worst you move into a temp housing situation for a few months. Much better to be in a situation where you sell high, go to a temp housing for a few months, and get to buy low, than to be stuck with a house at a deflated price

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

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. Any similar experience to share?
