Love it! I am going to try that out on some agents just to see their reaction. Something to be said for candid, real world truth. We should interview you for our Originator Hot Seat Webinar.

Talk soon,

Funny, Justin. I've been using the “sucks less” analogy in my market reports here in Augusta – nice to know I'm not the only one out there who uses the analogy.

I've whittled it down to two local lenders I refer almost exclusively. Mainly for the simple reasons – in-house underwriting, liberal interpretations of policies and procedures (if you can interpret it two ways, they interpret it the way that's shortest/easiest). It's also much easier to begin disclosure time restraints if the buyer and lender are physically at the same location. It (sorry for this) sucks less….

The mortgage business has the same problem the real estate business has, it is way too easy it get in. If we had better training in either industry, we all would be better off today.

While reading your post I was thinking of all the issues we have had with loans over the past 12 months in the Baltimore Metro area. From crazy stipulations after a 3 week underwriting wait, where the AE insisted that their review process was the “fastest in the industry”. To the subcontracted out of state appraiser who calls me and says “I really do not know where this property is, since I have never been to Baltimore City”. Then finally, the Johns Hopkins Physicist who made over 250k per year with a 700 credit score that could not buy 300k condo with 30% down in Baltimore Cities Harbor East because the “new construction complex was not over 40% owner occupied. Try telling the underwriter that it is new construction and only 30% of the units are sold.

[...] See loan officer’s Justin McHood’s blog post on our broker’s blog about how hard it is to get a loan approved and funded lately. Excerpt: “There’s a ton of stupid walking around … But I’m not sure if it’s different anywhere else.” [...]

@Tyler,

Very astute observation. Just let me know when you can come down to Phoenix and hold a seminar for 3/4's of the Realtors here. They have started ignoring me when I ramble about this stuff I think.
