Can a loan be rescinded once closed?

We closed on July 18th. But somehow we were not told that we needed three months of reserves in our savings for our rental home in another state. We sent in our bank statements which clearly showed we didn't have three months apparently this is a VA requirement. The lender and the underwriter apparently missed this and now the investor is asking for it that is setting up our loan. We don't have it anything showing that so is there anything they can do now to us? As soon as we closed we got a contract on the rental home to short sale because we're not keeping it. But we couldn't short sale until we got this house. But now I am worried about this piece that they are not asking for and what happens now? by godsfamily5634 from , California. Aug 8th 2017 Reply

Once the loan is closed, the loan is closed. The lender screwed up, and THEY now have a big problem on THEIR end. It isn't your problem.

Unless they can prove loan fraud, then there is no recourse for the lender.. you have to comply with their requests for documents because you agreed to do it when you signed the "compliance agreement" which is included in all closing packages.. But it's obvious they made a mistake,,, and it's possible the lender wont be able to sell this loan.. so that's on them.. not you.. But short selling a home immediately after you close.. that's a completely different issue with numerous implications.. If your new lender finds out, it's possible they will try to link both the new purchase and the short sale together indicating that you might have done all this intentionally (loan fraud), by withholding material information so that you could close on the new home before letting the other home go back to the bank..This "buy and bail" strategy was very popular in 2008 and later during the mortgage crisis, but lenders put in guidelines to help identify these potential liabilities.. However, the guidelines have relaxed, and they are not looking for it like they used to.. but, had you told them upfront this was your plan, you would have been denied.. Even worse that you stated this in your original question, on the internet, for the world to see... that you "couldn't short sale until we got the new house".. This shows you knew that the lender would deny your loan had you short sold first and then applied. so you withheld that info so you could get approved.. Needless to say, you have put yourself in a very difficult position.. I'm a preferred Lender with California and Arizona being my primary markets.
