I here a lot of people saying they deserve this.... or that.... without having done a damm thing.....I have always associated "deserve" with working diligently to achieve a goal.
Loan officer I first went to was skeptical ... an 19 year old with 1 1/2 years working experience buying vacant land.....he wanted a co-signer.....wouldnt think of asking my parents. Got approved by another lender who knew my employer. Finished building the house by our wedding day...and before my 22nd birthday.

Try that today with current lending laws.
Actually if the original lending officer is still alive, ask him
The ones I know would tell you, it’s a whole new world

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!
Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

What lending laws would those be?
No one believed that I could build my own home at 21....not even my parents or future in-laws. When I told them they were very skeptical to say the least. Still living here 43 years later.
I learned not to listen to the doubters.

Thanks....Company I work for is selling so many new homes ...pre-construction more than ever.....its getting hard to keep up....at a time in my career where I'd like to slow down. Customers are working class people......getting loans easily with good credit and work history.
