That meant new documents, new approvals, and making sure everything flowed correctly from a legal and ownership standpoint before we could close.Multiple legal teams get involved.

This isn't meant to be a home run, while it is marginally thin and speculation reliant I'm hoping I havent made a huge mistake.

Rodrigues Hi @Trevor McCormick, looks like we were meant to work together ;).

Real estate is not meant to be bought and sold like stocks.

The reasons listed were:• Length of employment• Income insufficient for amount requestedSome details about my situation:Credit score: 740Debt: very low (student loans mostly deferred while in school)Income history:2024 tax return: ~$141k income2025 tax return: ~$152k incomeI work remotely as a nurse in utilization/care management.I worked at Humana for about 2 years, then switched jobs within the same field.I currently have two full-time jobs now.My second job is less than a year old, so I’m wondering if underwriting ignored that income.When I spoke to the lender, they mentioned notes from the underwriter saying:borrower works less than 40 hours (not sure which job they meant)housing ratio exceeds guidelinesSo I’m thinking they may have only counted one job instead of both.I’ve asked my loan officer to appeal the decision and request reconsideration, since I can show 2+ years of stable income in the same field through my tax returns and W-2s.Has anyone been through something similar?

It’s usually meant to signal success.Nothing wrong with enjoying a good whiskey or cigar.

And this is a big but.That has never once meant a flip went smoothly start to finish.

How are developers finding land and find the best-use for it?

The question is whether you found it before closing, understood what it actually meant, and decided it was yours to take.

Maybe storage for their equipment for example.But if deployed, they also receive monthly salary meant to continue the lease to hold their housing.
