I have had a few deals go south due to borrowers not giving me the documents in a timely fashion, despite repeated phone calls and emails. I always like when they start arguing with me about why the lender wants them in the first place, to which I respond..."he who has the gold makes the rules.

This was not a lender delay but there are also delays created by the sellers. One property was held up by an 85 yr old widow who got "seller's remorse" the day of closing. She wanted us to pay an extra $20K for the property to sign off. It took two days for her agent to get her to understand that she couldn't do that. Somehow he got her to sign off. Exactly, you can't make this stuff up! Speaking of delayed closings. This was not a lender delay but there are also delays created by the sellers.
