I am purchasing a house apparently the seller owes more on it than what he listed it for. his realtor is now asking me if i can come up with 4000 dollars to be able to close. is this legal? If I don't come up with this money (that is technically not my responsibility) will the deal really fall through?

    you could wait for the bank to repossess it and buy it at accurate market price at that point in time.

It is certainly legal to ask you, but you are of course not required to 'donate' another 4000 - that is your choice.

If the deal falls through because of these 4000, it is the seller's fault, and you could sue him for your damages - whatever you invested/paid to get into this closing. Probably not much, but I wouldn't know. Also, chances are that if he is underwater with his home mortgage, he doesn't have the money to pay you even if you win in court, so you'd end up getting only a worthless sheet of paper.



The deal should not fall through for 4000, though. Normally his bank will accept the deal, and he will end up owing those 4000 to his bank still. The amount is probably small compared to the complete mortgage, and the bank would prefer to get the big chunk now and run after the 4000, instead of potentially getting less or nothing later.

So basically, the seller is just trying to sucker you into covering his 4000-problem.
