ATTACK OF THE PHANTOM GUIDELINE! THE CONCLUSION

By
Mortgage and Lending with Wholesale Mortgage Services Individual NMLS ID 331194

When we last left our hero, Moe Jazzei, he was battling the evil PHANTOM GUIDELINE. Unable to locate this 20% square footage appraisal requirement in any underwriting manual, moe was unsure about the fate of his otherwise perfect loan.

Just then the phone rang, it was the Nuntrust account rep. " I checked with our help desk, Moe, they can't find this guideline either." " That's because it doesn't exist!", Moe quipped. Its a PHANTOM GUIDELINE!!" "Wait there's more. I spoke with the underwriting supervisor and she waived the condition."

"Hal-a- frickin' lew yah!!" Moe shouted. Once again the PHANTOM GUIDELINE was defeated by COMMON SENSE!! Moe quickly contacted the closing department and the loan closed three days later.

There's still hope out there, Moe thought to himself. I just hope we never have to deal with that ugly monster again. Not likely, Moe. As long there are loans to be underwritten, so will exist, "THE PHANTOM GUIDELINE".

This one of the reasons I loved owner financing so much when I was selling real estate, never had to deal with underwriters. No matter how good the loan looked when you turned it in, they always managed to find something wrong.
