How does one locate a copy of a lost title insurance policy when the bank that handled the closing and the mortgage on a newly constructed home and handled the title insurance no longer exists?
U should be able to go directly to the underwriter (whoever the master insurer is) e.q. Stewart, First American, Chicago....they should have a copy of your policy. Usually if you have a copy of your mortgage it should say in the legal description who the underwriter is.
Does a home require a stove for a conventional mortgage?
Yes, it does. The home needs to be habitable and stove is part of the home being habitable. I guess you can write an explanation that you are used to ordering fast food every night, but I doubt that it will fly with an underwriter. I might be wrong, but I don't think that the stove is required by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac guidelines, still, most the banks still require it. However, I have not made a conventional loan in my 9 year career without a stove. Underwriter will always ask for it. This is a very easy problem to cure - ask the seller to install it while negotiating. If the seller won't do it - have the buyer get it at home depot or sears. If the loan doesn't go through, the buyer can return it unused. There may be a restocking fee.

Can i buy a home if im in collections?
Many times you can buy a home if you are in collections. It depends on the amount of the collections. It they are very large and they could jeopardize the lenders security with the home, the underwriter may request that you payoff the collection before closing on the loan. If they are very small the Underwriter may allow you to close on the home without paying them off.Note: If your FICO scores are close to a minimum qualifying score and you are being required to pay off the collection, ask if you can bring the money to your closing. The reason is this. If the collection is older, your credit score will most likely drop when you pay off the collection. This could lower your score to a point where you no longer will qualify. Many Underwrites will allow it to be paid at closing, so that your score will not drop until after you are in the home.

Does xavier from home and away die?
looks like it <- Not true
Your husband and you owe for a truck that was purchased and return about 5yrs ago you are trying to purchase a home and the underwriter says that you should pay the collection at the time of closing y?
Because to get the interest rate you qualified for they must have pretended that debt was paid to get you approved or to get you the better rate on your loan. This is very typical in lending. As an underwriter I often required payment of certain collections in order to be able to approve a person to buy a house :) In the end.... is it worth it to you to pay off that collection so you can finally build some great credit as a home owner? That's the real question.... as a home owner... trust me it's worth it. The sense of pride is wonderful. Hope this helps.
