“Breaking News, More Mortgage Turn-Downs’   For everyone in the mortgage or real estate business today, there are financing challenges. I like to say the lenders and underwriters don’t discriminate. I don’t care if the borrowers have good credit or not so much, I don’t care if the borrowers make a lot of money or not so much. Each and every mortgage has its challenges.

Here is a perfect example. I did a mortgage for clients buying a second home in South Kingston RI. The sale price was $230,000 and the appraisal came out at exactly $230,000. Two weeks after I took this application I took an...
