Update: Prayers are working. I'm about to be homeless because of the shut down, but I still support our president!
I'm just posting this to remind people that some of us are seriously effected. I'm not asking for anything other than prayers.


I have always been 'cursed' with horrible luck, and if there is an exception to something, then I somehow always fall in it.

I am one of the very very few affected by the shutdown, and I'm not even a government employee. If the government doesn't start back up by next week, I will be homeless. I don't work for the government, nor do I receive any benefits from the government.

BUT, I cancelled my lease for my current apartment, because I am buying my first house. We are closing next week. The loan is a federal government loan, and they have informed my wife and I that they refuse to issue the loan as long as the government is shut down. So, I will be packing up everything I own into a moving truck and parking it somewhere until the government reopens (assuming the house I am buying isn't sold to someone else by then). The worst part is the loan is simply backed by the government. All the paperwork is done, but they are refusing to sign it until the government is funded.

For what it's worth, I 100% blame the democrats. But, just keep in mind that some of us can be very-oddly effected by a government shut down, so I do hope it is resolved soon with Trump coming out on top.

When North Korea is easier to negotiate with than the democrat party, then something is horribly wrong with them.

just stay in the apartment until the shutdown is over. pay the landlord month by month until fha starts approving loans again. if i was the landlord, it wouldn't be a big deal to me to let you pay month by month till they get the shutdown settled.

I can't. This is a luxury apartment, and I had to pay 2 months rent to break the lease and give a 60 day notice. They already have it booked for a move-in day for someone in 2 weeks.

If you rent your truck from U-Haul asking for a "One Way" simply meaning that you do not return it to the same location you pick it up at, even if it is 2 miles away, you are entitled to One Month of Free Storage with them.

This would be so much cheaper than paying for the rental of a truck everyday for who knows how long, and also parked trucks do get vandalized and stolen.

I know this because I did truck reservation work for UHaul this summer.

If you are in escrow, you should not need to worry about dropping out unless you are going to exceed your original agreed upon time to close and the seller will not agree to an extension. It is normal even without a govt shutdown to have some kind of hold up for one reason or another in a real estate deal. I worked in real estate for many years.

 Quoting: In sanity


It's true. I am, like another poster, in the mortgage business. FHA is basically shut down. Your mortgage company can't get what's known as a "case number" while the shutdown is in effect. We also can't order tax transcripts from the IRS to verify income. Both of those are temporary deal killers.

Sorry you got caught up in all this, Zed. Prayers sent for your family.

Yeah, I remember last time we had a shutdown. USDA was done for first. They actually sometimes shut down even when there isn't a government shutdown for lack of funding.

I don't suppose you could take your loan Fannie or Freddie, could you? That's the only way around this at this point. You'd need 5% down, but at least the deal would get done.

I was just telling my wife about how this shutdown isn't going to affect only federal employees. It's going to have a trickle-down effect the longer it's closed. My wife & I are currently looking into buying our first home & we too are facing a dilemma in regards to the shutdown. Fortunately, we can still reside at our current location until things get straightened back out. Good luck OP. We'll be praying for you as well.

Also, if you already have a FHA, do you not have to pay the mortgage during the shutdown as well (we do not, but was just curious)

The reason we were able to get the house was the USDA loan only required a 1% downpayment, and it has really good interest rates. If we did switch to another loan, then it would raise the rates by about 1.5% minimum (according to our loan officer) in addition to higher closing costs and higher PMI payments.
