We are under contract to buy a condo. Closing is in two weeks. Yesterday my company laid off 50 people including me. I can’t get the loan now. Does the seller get to keep my $5,000 earnest money even though it’s not my fault?

How do you get around a restrictive covenant?

I purchased a plot of land with the intent of building a modern ADU for my elderly parents, but I’ve just discovered a restrictive covenant from 1954 that forbids 'secondary dwellings.' How difficult is it to petition for a variance or have an outdated covenant removed in a high-density suburban area?

Sellers didn't disclose water/drainage issues, can we hold them responsible?

We closed on our Victorian home three months ago, but during a heavy storm, we discovered a significant drainage issue that causes the basement to flood—something the sellers explicitly denied on the disclosure. Since the inspection didn't catch it because it was a dry week, do we have any legal recourse against the sellers for non-disclosure, or is this officially our 'money pit' now?

What is the lockout effect?

I have a two percent interest rate from a few years ago and even though i want to move i cant justify a six percent rate on a new place. Is there a strategic way to port my mortgage to a new house or am i basically forced to become a landlord and rent this place out if i ever want to leave?

When does it actually make sense to refinance?

Since we have to pay to refinance the loan and the interest rate is only about .5% lower, does it even make sense to refinance? When we bought they kept saying "date the rate" but now we're 2 years in and rates are still high.

How does owing a rental property affect my ability to qualify for a new mortgage?

I have a great interest rate on my current property, but the home doesn't meet my needs anymore. I'd like to move and rent out my current house. But I'm wondering if I can do that financially? If I keep this house and rent it out, how does that affect my ability to get a mortgage?
