!st time home buyer

I am buying a home and my wife is the co borrower. I put her on as the co borrower not knowing that I didn't need to. She is self employed and now we are having a tuff time getting her tax papers together. This house is an FHA short sale with a required 203K loan on it to put in a functioning kitchen. The bank says now that I could get the house on my own but, I will lose my $3,500 down payment and have to start the process all over again in order to get the house only in my name. Closing takes place in 8 days. What can we do?
Hi

It's an unusual situation. I haven't heard of it before. But I think you aren't actually left with any other choice. But the thing that I don't understand is if you can qualify on your own, why can't the bank simply remove your wife's name from the loan?

Hi, Yes savior i gotta agree with you. It seems like they just want you to go through the process again to get your money? I think they can just remove your wifes name without having to do the loan all over again.

yeah, why in the world do you have to lose a down payment? that's ridiculous. where do these crazy banks come from?

Typically I would not mention the name of the bank but in this case it may help us so we could stay far away from them.
