Appendix Advice

   Dear Edith:  Advise people to use a professional.  

I am not a broker or attorney, but over the last 40 years I have been personally involved in dozens of deals. Years ago one could obtain a loan commitment over the phone or with a handshake. Closing took 15 to 20 minutes.

Now I recently did a simple refinance. It required nearly two hours and the signing of 30 documents. Nobody should do this now without a professional. I know some have, but people also have surgically removed their own appendix. Don't try it !!

If you wish to publish this you may identify me and edit the above except the "appendix " . 
 
 

I wouldn’t dream of changing that appendix sentence.
