Hi, we recently received our sales contract back, and are ready to go. We had to place ,000 in earnest money in the escrow of our real estate agent. During the walk through, she told us that she cuts a check back to us at closing, so we were plotting on using this money for some repairs and furniture. This is a HUD home, and HUD is paying for 00 in closing costs. Well, I got an email from her today, and she said that the title company will credit us back the earnest money at closing. What does that mean "credit back". Will it go towards the mortgage, or will they give us a check? I heard that it would normally go towards closing costs. Uuuugh, this HUD stuff is getting harder and harder every day to deal with….

HUD earnest money question?

I bought a HUD ‘as-is’ home and did a private inspection. The house has two a/c units. One for up, and one for down. One dosn’t work and needs to be replaced, the other needs several vital parts to be functional. Basically needs two completely new a/c systems. If I back out of my contract with this information, is it enough to make the place “unliveable” and get my earnest money back? Or am I SOL?
I know the “as is” clause. I also am under the impression that if any major defects are found and presented to them, it would be grounds to. What I didn’t know is if air conditioning was considered a major defect. Keep in mind, I’m in Texas, and it’s the middle of the summer.
Thanks for your answers, but after researching, I found that I can:
