Advice With Names On Contract?

[berad]

I just received a request to remove one of the Buyers names listed on the Subject contract from the appraisal. I replied and asked them for an addendum to verify this since the copy of contract I have lists 2 Buyers and is signed by both. I then received this reply the AMC. "Contract indicates that both parties are to be listed as Owners of the property (both will be on title), but that does not necessarily mean that both will be on the loan. Lender stated, "XXXXX is the only borrower. YYYYY is on the contract and on title only (not a borrower).". There is no need for an addendum to the sales contract". Am I not supposed to indicate exactly who is listed and signed the contract?

You can list both names in the contract analysis section if that floats your boat but the borrower is identified by the lender. Fairly common, one of the parties has better credit than the other and meets the income requirements etc.

The borrower is the borrower, ie. - "Subject". The people signing the contract are not germane to the "borrower" but are the Buyer. Does your URAR form call any field "Subject"? I don't use forms anymore but "borrower" was in the old form I used.

One of them likely has bad credit and so it has to be in the name of the one with good credit.

I just hate it. More typing as usual with purchases. You have to explain the situation in the report.

The lender AMC is correct the borrower can be me XXXX but I can have my others on title .

actually it's less typing - one less name to add to the "borrower" line.

This happened with me when we were buying our house a few years ago. My wife had the "steady 9-5 income" and I had just started my own company. She was the borrower on the loan but we both show up as owners on public record

AMC is correct.

When my wife and I bought our first house, she didn't have a long enough credit history. It was actually easier for me to get the loan solely in my name than it was for a joint loan with her on it. She was on the deed, but not on the loan.

I have never indicated the names of the buyers on the contract in a report. I don't see why it matters. There are times where the seller may not match the owner of public record and I will describe that in the contract section, but I could care less what the contract says as far as buyer names. It makes no difference whether there is one borrower and one buyer name or one borrower and 46 buyers.

One nice thing about doing VA appraisals...the borrower's name is on the 1805 (request for appraisal) and that is all that is required to be on the appraisal report.
