When events like that hit the national news it affects vacationer decisions on where to go.

Institutional discount buyers have always been around.

They bank (local) refunded him all of the appraisal fees for the year charged by this appraiser, roughly 1500.00.My lender is livid, so I'm trying to smooth the waters out and the only thing that will smooth the waters for him is to have him removed from their approved appraiser list with this institution.

At the moment, all of my competitors have shut their doors because institutionally funded private money pulled out. 

In doing that, both of my lenders replied with how their institutions are handling these situations and I am confident that I can get at least a temporary financial reprieve if it comes to that.

I think I'm just realizing that even though with the VA-Cash Out could hypothetically be 100% LTV, institutions aren't as willing to go the full 100%.

Get started at more than one institution and let them know it is competitive.
