Field notes
The guide treats a transaction as a chain of verifications, approvals, inspections, and signatures, then organizes entries around places where that chain can stall. It directs readers to locate their situation, consider its effect on the deal, and review the proposed response before making a call. The page divides material between the loan file—from application through underwriting and funding—and property or closing issues such as appraisal, title, and inspection; it identifies Kochhar's Broward County work as dating to 1998.
