Yes I do.  Too many mistakes get made.  Too many people looking for the same moving trucks, etc.

It depends.  Who is the lender? is it because the buyer doesn't have a lot of up front funds for pre-paid interest? Typically I avoid it.  That being said, this month we closed two on Friday and one today.  One closed two weeks early (today) and the two Friday were both a week late.

Anytime of the month works for me, I actually prefer to do it earlier just to avoid the mass of people that do it towards the end. More mistakes happen towards the end of the month I've found.

No, our market is not so big that it causes much trouble. I do watch the calendar closely though and aim for everything needed for closing to be completed with days to spare.

Not usually. However, I do see attorneys moving it up a few days; if at end of month.
