Lenders Now: Scrooge, Not Santa Claus

Checking "the List" -- Again & Again

He's making a list,
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice.
Santa Claus is coming to town

--lyrics, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town"

These days, lenders also seem to be "checking their list" twice -- if not a whole lot more.

The result?

Deals that are getting finalized much later in the process -- sometimes, right before (or at) closing.

Or, renegotiated along the way, due to appraisal issues.
