Great post. You hit the nail right on the head. Prior to the new regulations that Government imposed in 2012, a 30 day close on a pre-approved client was no problem. Now it can be done but it could be a problem for the reasons posted.

Iam surprised that the Developer let a sale get away for a mere 15 days difference in closing. Indeed, sales must be very good.
