Post: Closings that never close. Help!

I'm trying to close on a property and this thing doesn't want to end. The buyer is working with me, but the lenders seem to keep coming up with excuses and delays. We're now on our 3rd extension and still can't get the lender to give the buyer's mortgage broker a straight answer. It is extremely frustrating!

Is anyone else having this issue?

Does anyone know of any repercussions I can take here? Is there any way to apply pressure to make this closing happen? I don't want to lose the buyer, but I just can't handle the lack of urgency on the part of the lender for the buyer.

Any advice from those of you lenders on site?

It is good that you're careful. Every once in a while there is some kind of con guy here, but they usually get caught and tossed out. This is a great place to learn about real estate.

You should look into a real estate club. You can learn a lot and meet many great people to network with. You might even find a local mentor. Good luck and welcome.

I'm not sure of all the restrictions, but I know I've read about a few. I think the idea of having your wife become the realtor and you being the investor makes sense. You'll get the benefits of having the license in the family, but you the investor, wouldn't be burdened by the limitations.

I've been paying attention to the political "debates" from both parties and thought I'd start a conversation about some real issues of our time. I'd like to keep politics out of this discussion and stick to creative ideas for dealing with the Health Care crisis in the US.

Do you have any answers for the Health Care Crisis?

Sorry. It is going on in parts of Pennsylvania, but other areas are looking at similar laws.
