You should be posting this to your blog, because the information itself is important enough that it should stand on its own.
One of my BFFs is a national FHA VA lender, and although I did not know this, it does not surprise me because the borrowers are vetted very carefully before pre-approval.
In 10 years working with them, I don't recall a single deal we've ever closed go into default.

I had no idea of the specifics, but it makes sense for a lende to be extra cautious. It is also a protection for the borrowers, in a way, to keep them from getting into a situation that would be detrimental to them down the road.

Some people are lucky that their closing in only delayed as opposed to being rejected. Not everyone should qualify for a loan. Some companies take risks only to face the consequences!

If you do blog about this make certain to also explain the conditions that would compel the 'bank' to buy-back the mortgage from FHA. That is the real issue.
