11 things to watch out for when buying a house or condo in Saint Petersburg Florida

This is the last Step in buying property here in Saint Petersburg Florida

So far, so good. You took care of the dead lines, you have overcome a few obstecals,, the home inspection was ok, T\the appraisal went fine. your lender  as issued a commitment letter,  your insurance is in place, you think you are ready to go to closing and you want to call the moving company.  Well here is the bad news, there is still one more thing, the money is not in the bank yet, your lender as not transferred the money to the title company’s escrow account and they have not even given the final numbers to the title company nor have they send all the necessary paperwork. By law your have the right to see the HUD statement at least 24 hours before closing but the title company can not send it because your lender is not cooperating. Now what do you do?

This is not an exemption to the rules, unfortunately it is the rule. Happens at least 8 out of 10 times.

Now all hell breaks loose, everybody is on the phone with everybody. . . . .

The one and only advice I can give you is Stay in touch with your lender on a daily base. Make sure they understand that time is off the essence and that they need to perform.

You are paying them a lot of money to get the loan, so, do not take, “I will call you tomorrow, or I will look into this, or I am sorry it sits in underwriting” for an answer.

I have gotten deals done by sheer persistence and nothing else. If you call them 20 times a day, they finally get the job done, just so you won’t call anymore. So, call, call, call, give them 10 or 20 minutes and call again. I mean it !!!
