The hangup apparently was the finance company either dragging their feet, or the fact that too many people were involved, and they were not communicating to each other what was received and what was not. Every time they dropped the ball, it added another week to the ordeal, the interest on the seller's loan increased and the seller had to keep sending checks to the finance company to cover the accruing interest, THREE TIMES!!!
Also, it seemed like every other Friday, whoever was working on the loan went on vacation, then another person took over and had no idea where in the loan process we were, adding yet another week(s).
We got down to the point where we had to move the 24-footer we have been living in out on Saturday morning, b/c new trailer coming in at noon Saturday 7/1. So if the loan did not go through by today, we would have to put our 24-footer into storage somewhere, full of food and property, without hookups, and get a hotel with the dog and cat until we could get the keys.
My wife and the seller got on the phone with the finance company yesterday EVERY HOUR to make sure that they got that last remaining check for $106 to cover that last little bit that her loan had increased over the past month. By 6:30 last night, I had the keys, cat and dog are in the 5-er!!!
