Scott,
The answer to this question is pure speculation on my part. There could be many factors.
(1) The borrowers could be slow in providing the necessary information to the lender.
(2) Being loans, which are questionable, the lender could be requiring more information than they would normally request to validate the loans.
(3) The lender could be inundated with business and processing is taking longer.
(4) The lender could be short handed in personal.
(5) The lender could be incompetent and slow.
Scott, these are the 5 main reasons a lender would not process in timely manner. On a case-by-case basis, I know that there could be many other reasons.
My suggestion when experiencing this is to try another lender or at least send some of your deals to another lender and bring it to their attention as to what you are doing, and why. Explain to them, that you can’t live with their delays. Once they see that they are losing business, They will pay more attention and be more responsive. Now you have turned the situation into " How To Have Lenders Fighting To Give You Money".
