I've had smooth loans close with Kiavi and I've had rough ones, same with Roc.When Loans start to be troublesome:1) The borrowing entity docs are a mess2) The appraisal numbers are lower than expected3) Messy background reports4) Loans happening in an environment where market/rate fluctuating unpredictably 5) Your loan officer and their team are poor at their job6) Title issues that depend on county docs, that can be slow and painfulThere's more but it's Friday and I'm tired....

Example of what a tenant might say - this 2x2' stain on 2 year old carpet was already there when I moved in.

We’ve slowly been improving our homes the more we’ve built and the more feedback we get from our Buyers2021 – Added 8ft doors throughout the home2022 – Added a new elevation with stone in the front of the home2023 – NO carpet in the bedrooms, LVP throughout the home2024 – Added hurricane impact windows & new color options2025 – Adding Ceiling FansGotta be open to feedback and adjust accordinglyThis can be the difference of your home sitting on the market for 4 months vs 1 month

I have added new electric service, all new plumbing, an additional bathroom, remodeled Kitchen all the way down to the studs, new carpet on the second floor, and new LVP on the first floor.

Not gonna put it over the carpet. 

Because the first few months may be great, but after the honeymoon phase, they might morph into messy, noisy goblins.

This will create a huge mess. I
