Yeah, I've seen that
No email though. I was getting a VA loan through Navy Federal Credit Union. They both had offices in the same building, 6 floors apart. I was on "terminal leave", meaning I had 90 days of accrued leave, which I started taking 90 days before the end of my tour.
When I brought the paperwork in to the credit union, I told them I would wait until it was processed. Then I hand-carried it up to the VA for approval. The receptionist said it usually takes 4-6 weeks. I told her, "That's okay, I brought a book." Sat down across from her and broke out the Foundation series. In hardback.
She went to lunch, came back and I was still there. She walked in back and came out five minutes later with the signed paperwork. I took it back downstairs and said, "Can I have my money now?" We closed two days later.
Do I believe in Yin and Yang? The closing on the next house I bought was scheduled for August 15, 2003. Yes, that's the day after the blackout, when everybody was closed. And the seller already had the moving truck loaded and was ready to leave that morning.
