Re: OCTOBER 2013 CLOSERS !!

Hi guys!! We started the credit repairing process one year ago and are finally within eyesight of the finish line! Phew!!

Re: OCTOBER 2013 CLOSERS !!

Maybe, but not likely, LOL.  One can hope!  Smiley Happy  We are flying to DFW for a week of househunting on Sat, so we are so excited!  We are also going VA, so I know the delays there, but I just thought it would be fun to think that I could POSSIBLY close in Oct.

Re: OCTOBER 2013 CLOSERS !!

This has been the most stressful, longest process I've ever been through!  The loan approval part of it was pretty straight forward and quick....but the building process has been an absolute nightmare!  I guess if I had gone with a bigger builder instead of a small privately owned one I wouldn't be griping as much, but who knows!  Below are my details:

  • Start of construction: June 19th
  • Signed Purchased Contract on : April 16th
  • Lender Name: SWBC Mortgage  
  • Notes about Lender:  Preferred lender for Cheldan Homes.  Very easy to work with and very responsive. 

  • Type of Loan: USDA 30 Yr Fixed
  • Loan Rate:4.625 (locked 08/22/2013)
  • Loan Application submitted:  07/26/13 - SWBC, 7/30/13 - USDA
  • Loan Approved w/conditions: 8/21/13
  • Final Approval: TBD
  • Appraisal Ordered: 7/31/13
  • Appraisal Completed: TBD

Re: OCTOBER 2013 CLOSERS !!

We're supposed to close October 23rd and have an FHA, does anyone know what will happen if the Government shutdown occurs?  We worked so hard, like most of you, to pay off credit cards and save, and I will be so bummed if it is delayed.  Thanks!
