We don't prioritize these faux deals over real deals, of course, so it takes two weeks from when my little "I need this and that paperwork" list is fully 100% complete without any omissions.They can still house hunt using standard contingencies during that period, naturally.I generally don't bring it up unless it's requested (typically by the realtor) because people get pissed about the additional paperwork I ask for that includes why this or that credit inquiry 4 months ago happened, etc.A concern, and something I've noticed come up more and more frequently lately, is lenders pretending it only takes 3 days to get through that 123 Main St underwrite and letting folks go in with no loan contingency because they THINK that they are credit/income/asset approved and have been lied to.
