Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
If I am already prequalified to buy a home, can another bank that is selling an REO property require me to prequalify through them as well?

Yes, because there is no standard for prequalifying borrowers, and probably little or no communication between the banks.

Yes. The bank can require you to finance through them, and that means they can make you meet THEIR prequalification standards.
