This post was inspired by a Miracle - a "clear to close" received after many delays ! Amen.
It may be somewhat rare these days to have a Loan get through the underwriting process without getting kicked back with at least one (if not more) condition to full fill before final approval and those 3 famous words: "Clear to Close" are heard .
The odds of delays may be even more probable if the name of the lender funding the loan … (2 comments)

- 05/13/09 08:44 AM
In our Indiana Travels, between Hebron and DeMotte there's a Restaurant and Bar located right on the Kankakee River called Marti's Place at Ramsey's Landing that has been around for many years. I asked Jeff to stop the other day on the way home from Indy...(I had a taste for some catfish and a beer :) The menu has a wide variety, but for some reason, I always choose the catch of the day or catfish. It was windy, so we ate inside (outside seating is also available) but the wall of windows overlooking the river provided great views!
