The frustrating part was the existing mortgage was with this local bank as well.Kept asking for more documentation stating “we just need this one thing and we will issue commitment letter, tomorrow.”They strung me along for 4 months until they finally said “they weren’t comfortable doing the loan.”Thankfully the new lender I placed it with was agreeable to accepting the appraisal I had already paid for.Refi closed with much better terms in the end.

Any help is much appreciated, and again I'm happy to finally be apart of this community!

Good Morning Bigger Pockets Family and Happy June 1st ! ,

A few months back I was in the process of purchasing a land note from a owner on the note. Long story short, the note deal never went through as planned. No...

I finally got an accepted offer on a home and had a preapproval on a VA loan but found out today that my score is one point below the minimum.  

Don’t finally get a good one to be responsive to you and then jerk him around on pricing.

(Contrary to if you do a 1031 transaction, which is a whole different topic, but requires you to sell).Final thing I would say - think of the refinance as two separate transactions.

Finally, I live in Litchfield country in CT, so if any investors (new or seasoned), would like to reach out please do as I always love talking and networking.

All are 3bed 2bath and close to 300k range. which external factors should I consider to finally choose my home(appreciation & rental potential)?

The letters got returned to me and though it took longer than I care to admit, I finally realized that if I couldn't get my letters delivered, neither could any other investors.

And then there are all this issues that everyone in washington just keep kicking down the road...so when those problems finally explode...they could up end anything and everything.
