I have bank approval (Letter Of Credit). Finance is not contingent on the property - I can buy any that I want. What language do I need to add to contracts? Only choices are cash or subject to financing. This is essentially cash transaction, but with a loan on property. I have had several contracts get rejected because of this structure and need help!!!

As the previous agents stated, there is a spot to check that indicates the contract is not subject to financing approval.

Just be careful. You really want to make sure the house appraises. I don't know what your business plan is for these properties but if you plan on using hard money/cash/line of credit and then refi the property it will have to appraise.

Are you sure this is the reason the offers are getting rejected?

Interesting question. I agree with Veronica. I'm curious. Are you using a TREC form and if so what year is on the top right corner?

Our TREC Residential Contract 20-11 has credit approval language built into it. so I cannot understand why your offers would be rejected b/c of this, unless the contract form is being filled out incorrectly.

Page one, paragraph 4.A.(2) Credit Approval check box (b) states " This contract is not subject to buyer being approved for financing."
So you simply have to fill out the amount of your FOC and place a check mark in check box (b) in this paragraph 4 section of the contract; paragraph 4.A.(2)(b). and attach your FOC letter.

Easy breezy.
This should not be a problem.
