Better check the fine print but I'm betting there is. If you put any money up front, you can bet that it is gone and, it may depend on what state you live in. You might want to talk to the real estate agent (or one who has nothing to do with the deal) to make sure you don't need a lawyer.

What can you do if a house is purchased with a fixed rate loan and the mortgage is reassigned to another lender and that lender changes the loan to an ARM?

First of all, you signed an agreement with a fixed rate, and just because it was sold does not mean they have the right to change the mortgage agreement. If you signed a new mortgage agreement stating the new agreement then you are liable for that, but you can call your mortgage company and tell them you have a copy of the agreement you signed and, that you didn't agree to an arm. To sum it up, unless you re-signed a mortgage agreement, they DO NOT have the right to change anything just because they have baught your mortgage from your original mortgagor. Please do not let them run you over. Good luck.


If a contract is changed without the knowledge of the guarantor is it valid?

A contract is valid when there is a meeting of the minds. Once a contract is signed, it cannot be changed unless written as an addendum and signed by all parties concerned. A verbal agreement cannot override a written agreement.
