.), and then go ahead and ask them to explain to you where "6 weeks" is to be found in the following, since this is ultimately what you (not the LO) will be signing at the closing table before a notary public who will be taking your finger prints. :)Granted, I am not a lawyer.

and I will even go so far as to street view on google their location and ask them   Hey is your office by that Mc donalds on the corner knowing its a burger king.. and see what they say. we got hacked once.. it was one of our vendors and it was for a construction draw got an e mail from her saying she changed banks.Well this vendor rarely if ever e mails so we called her right away.. and lo and behold she got her emails hacked.

First mortgage payment will have to be due after your first paycheck is scheduled to arrive, and don't shaft your LO if they ask you for a copy of that first paycheck after settlement (I'll give you exactly 1 guess as to why many lenders won't do it until after that first paystub, even though technically the offer letter provisionally suffices).

Is there a path to become a Mortgage Broker if you're a loan officer?

Thanks a lo.

No rule or anything was broken here, but as a matter of courtesy you should have probably been given a heads up.In any case, legalese aside, my response before I read that the appraisal came in high (in addition to the property condition issues): LO should have given you and your Realtor a heads up and / or looped you in.
