There are LOTS of misconceptions about TV in that regard. It is about 99% single-family homes on their own lot, owned by the homeowner.
My mortgage is with Wells Fargo Mortgage, Minneapolis. No issues. They called the closing company, understood the rules and got it done in less than 30 days. All depends on the bank and the people you deal with. Communicate.
