Mortgage is gonna be 1200 a month same as we paid for our rental house for a year.
Plus she took a 4 month break from worh due to prefnancy and her income ia gonna be even lower this year.
Earnest Money is paid to the Realtor / Real Estate Broker and held in escrow. So using a different Mortgage Broker shouldn't affect that.
Inspections by licensed inspectors should be reusable.
If the appraisal is lower you have to find another $2000.00 for your downpayment or renegotiate the sale. Typically a seller would reduce their price. The other thing is you probably can't "reuse" an appraisal, a new lender will order a new appraisal.
Any money paid to Wells Fargo based on their representation of "pre-approval" should be refunded.
