The current process is a bit of a pain with little reward until the end, I kind of think that it would be nice to recognize leaping some of the many hurdles we are currently required to set out.This is a really rough draft, but as a bunch of people who have previously gotten mortgages I wanted the community's feedback on this set of proposed Achievements to Unlock while in the process of buying a property.Imagine animated giant green check-boxes or thumbs up appearing as you complete each one:Preapproval Process StartedAsset Package SubmittedIncome Package SubmittedCredit Package SubmittedInvestment Property Package SubmittedE-consent to e-Disclosures SubmittedLO PreapprovalUnderwriter PreapprovalContract RatifiedE-Disclosures SignedAsset/Income/Credit Package UpdatedEarnest Money Deposit DocumentedAppraisal OrderedHomeowner's Insurance SubmittedLoan Conditionally ApprovedApproval Conditions SubmittedSatisfactory Appraisal Rec'dFinal Loan Estimate SignedClosing Disclosure SignedCleared to CloseDocs in TitleCash-to-Close Sent to TitleFunding Conditions SubmittedLoan FundedAmerican Dream UnlockedI know that they aren't in the order that might be preferred by the consumer ("why can't I just do those first 10 all in a single setting?")

Scott, other cases haveexpanded the remedies of defaulting vendees to include even willfully defaultingpersons.When selling a parcel of land under a sales contract which is not recorded, the seller isprohibited from otherwise encumbering the parcel to an aggregate amount exceeding theamount due under the contract without the written consent of the purchaser.A real property sales contract must recite the number of years to complete payment and,if a tax estimate is made, the basis for it.When selling real property under a real property sales contract, the seller must applyinstallment payments first to payment(s) due on an obligation(s) secured by the property.The seller must hold in trust payments received for taxes and insurance and use thosefunds only for those purposes, unless the payor and the holder of an encumbrance on theproperty agree to some other use of those funds.A real property sales contract for purchase of real property in a subdivision must clearlyset forth the legal description of the property, all the existing encumbrances at the dateof the contract and the terms of the contract.Except in the special area of large land developments, the advantage which a landcontract may have held as a security device seems to have dissipated in favor of the useof a deed of trust with power of sale.Disadvantages to buyer.
