Cashier's check or wire transfer for closing?
I've never done a wire transfer before. And when I looked into it with my bank there were all these warnings about sening it to the wrong place. The directions that I got are really confusing and I'm worried I'm going to mess something up. Can I just bring a cashiers check to the closing?

Can I use a 40 year mortgage to finally afford a house?
My lender mentioned a new 40 year loan term that makes the monthly payment way lower than a 30 year. I know it means i pay way more interest over time but is this a legit way to get into a house today or am i just going to be stuck with zero equity for the first decade?

Can I sue an ai chatbot if it gave me wrong advice about a mortgage?
I used an online ai tool to help me understand my loan terms and it told me I wouldn't have a prepayment penalty but now my actual contract says I do. since I relied on that info to pick the lender do I have any way to hold the company responsible for the badadvice?

Are there protections for me when buying a home?
Are there protections that I can ask for when buying a home? I'm looking at both a used home and new construction. I'm thinking about major items, like what can I do if the HVAC fails or mold starts to grow or things like that. I know that I should have money saved for repairs, but in the first year or two paying for big items to be fixed will be difficult.

New construction mistakes to look for?
What mistakes should I look for when buying new construction? I know new doesn't mean perfect and I've watched some horror stories on Instagram about new builds being terrible. I don't want to be one of those stories. What mistakes should I look for with new construction?
