Golf Equity Financed sPs 06-14-2006

I ran into a difficult deal where in the Sales contract included the
mandatory "Golf Equity" into the sales price. Understandably, BofA
considered it chattel and refused to finance that amount. The Borrower said
nothing until the day of closing and had his Attorney threaten me as being
incompetent and that they finance Golf Equity all day long. Did I drop the
ball on this one? I am not aware of lenders who will finance this along with
the home. I have asked the Borrower to produce the names of the lenders who
previously handled this situation but he has yet to provide me with the
names stating only that he had them.

I don't think you dropped the ball. If the attorney can't produce names of
lenders who include the golf equity membership (which clearly is chattel),
then you might suggest they re-write the purchase contract to exclude
reference to the golf equity membership, and write a seperate contract to be
executed outside of closing.

Thank you for responding. The deal is closed and I am scum. lol. To me it
was clearly chattel so I did not persue the issue. In retrospect, I should
have read the contract closer and suggested the new contract from the
beginning. But there were too many confident Attorneys involved so I did not
want stir up the pot.

Did you get the loan, or did they hand it off to someone else? Was the golf
equity membership financed in the loan?

What is Golf Equity?

I'm gonna guess that the property is in a private community with a golf
course, and golf equity is the value of the remaining membership. Is that
close?
