I have literally never been able to get financing on time, and have had to ask for an extension for every property I've purchased. Is it just me or...is this normal for non-cash buyers? I can usually get my side of things in order in record time (statements, payslips, rental appraisals etc), but then the valuation generally chews up a few days to order, perform and lodge with the bank, then the broker takes a few more days to pull the application together, then there's always a surprise or two where the bank asks for more info that neither of us anticipated and it takes days to turn around. The 2-3 weeks evaporates really quickly even when things are going somewhat smoothly.
So is it just me or are finance date extensions a very common thing? Every time I buy, my anxiety levels shoot through the roof. This is not good for my health!
