That’s about what it was. On top of that it was multiple requests for the same thing they already had. They didn’t trust my tax returns, schedule B’s, 1099 DIVS, ETC. Had to document line items. Didn’t know what a transfer agent is. Wanted to prove continuity of dividends for previous 3 years during which time we had an unbroken stream of autopay mortgage payments....and for twenty years previous. I could go on. Preposterous.
I’m doing a lot of genealogical research. My grandfather built his own house in the early 30s. I think his mortgage instrument (which I recently found) is one page and one signature.
Here we are 90 years later and “Preposterous” doesn’t begin to cover it. I wouldn’t be surprised to hit 1,000 page closing documents in a few decades.
