Discussion about 45 East 89th Street in Carnegie Hill
Very recently, I have been having problems getting a mortgage loan to finance a potential purchase to one of the units of this building. According to multiple mortgage officers, the problem is not with my personal finances, but is due to the underfunding of the "Fidelity Bond Insurance reserve fund" of this building. As this underfunding does not fulfil the current Fannie/Freddie guidelines, banks are not willing to lend as they will not be able to sell / repackage this loan down the road. Which means that unless it's a 100% cash funded purchase, it's almost impossible to get any transactions done to any units of this building. Anyone has any color / solution to this issue? Many thanks in advance...

does the price reflect a discount for this risk/hassle/issue?..if not, aren't you glad to not go forward
The banks have changed their guidelines and many decent buildings just have not kept up. It costs very little to raise the insurance to acceptable levels. Recently i had this problem with a unit i was selling. I called and emailed the managing agent who was handeling the building pointing out that no one in the building would be able to sell unless this was taken care of. He fixed the problem with in 24 hours and the mortgage was given. good luck
Got it. Thanks very much for the color.
