Is this an M and T rule or is it a HUD rule , just got contract with 4% seller concession USDA financing but M and T is saying no concession allowed with USDA and only 1% if its FHA financing
You need to be a member of Short Sale Superstars to add comments!
Your lender can use form HUD-90041 to request a variance. Usually the negotiator will do this for you, but i've even submitted the variance requests myself directly to Fannie/Freddie...
1% on FHA if the short sale seller is FHA and the buyer is FHA, too! That is on form 90045. I've never gotten any concessions on a USDA short sale but I don't have that in writing.
I had the same issue before, I explained to the negotiator that USDA financing is a government program and that the financing is similar to FHA and we got it approved for 1% but I do know that you can ask for a variance for more. All depends on your offer and the NET to the lender, if you can get them 88% NET, you should be able to get it done
It is HUD, but you can ask the bank to submit a variance to the HUD to increase the seller assist. If the M&T person doesn't know how, ask for the supervisor. If that doesn't help, call the HUD Service Center...they can explain to M&T how to follow the guidelines and submit the variance.
