Juneteenth and Affect on Mortgage Closings

Okay I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere but in our industry. Ok just found this article that I linked to.

So Biden signed the Juneteenth in as a Federal holiday last night. It is observed tomorrow as a Federal holiday. No prior notice.

So when you close a new mortgage loan, the lender has to deliver a Closing Disclosure (we call them CD's) to the home buyer at least 3 days prior to closing. Saturdays count in that. FEDERAL HOLIDAYS DO NOT COUNT.

So; anyone who was planning to close early next week, will now likely have their closing delayed by a day unless the lender happen to have gotten the CD out earlier. This will affect thousands of mortgage closings across the nation. I don't see this mentioned on any websites, but its 100% accurate. My company was scrambling to deal with it today. And friends at the largest mortgage lender in the nation who I know said the same thing. This needs to land at Biden's feet. Utter incompetence . No one saw this as as a negative side effect in the government?

But it will silently go down the rabbit hole, Biden likely won't be held accountable.People will just blame the lender as they do for almost any issue.

Bedbugs should be part of Disclosure.

And whether anyone who ever lived in the house owned a slave.

“And whether anyone who ever lived in the house owned a slave.”

I don’t even have a problem with observing a day celebrating when Republicans freed the slaves from there Democrat owners.We used to have Lincolns birthday.

Its utter incompetent way this was this was done.
They dropped on everyone late last night, no prior notice.

It’s a brand new federal holiday, should have been commemorated with great fanfare and celebration. The president ... or given his “condition” let the first black VP take the helm on this one, should have had some sort of nationally televised speech and a parade.

It’s the very first occurrence of the holiday. And it’s not like it sneaks up on you on a different day each year like Easter, and it wasn’t like the people who were pushing to get it implemented this year wouldn’t have been able to make the rollout happen smoothly... But they didn’t. They plopped it out and “enjoyed their long weekend” the very next day. Probably thousands of feds showed up to work this morning furious to find out that they didn’t have to come in. (Govvies get really mad when they don’t get everything coming to them).

On the surface, it’s just one day and a small mix up, but really though, this is not a small mix up, this goes to the basic competency of government to handle their business. It shows that the legislative process isn’t being coordinated effectively and the executive branch isn’t leading in the execution of government activities. Adults are not reliably in charge.

Our adversaries have taken note. I’m sure of it.

There were people that showed up to work at government offices to be told it was a holiday.
No notice, utter incompetence .
And the poor suckers didn’t even get to enjoy a day off!
So ridiculous , calendars are normally put together a year ahead of time

".... People will just blame the lender as they do for almost any issue....."

I was in the mortgage banking industry for 25 years. If you haven't learned to grow a thick skin by now, you're in the wrong career. Part of your job is to take the flak for the real estate agent and title company screw-ups. Part of the deal.

And don't expect the Biden regime to be competent because they are far from that. Your industry is professional. Biden's job is government. It's like the DMV.

Delayed loan closings is only one thing they didn't consider.

I didn't even hear about this new federal holiday, Juneteenth, until today and I don't even know what it stands for yet.

Is it like Kwanzaa? I still haven't figured that one out yet either.

This new paid holiday giving govt employees another three day weekend proves that the govt does not need thousands of the employees they now hire. Overnight, the country was informed we had a new govt decreed holiday and they could get along on a moments notice with all of their employees taking off for the day. Every non govt taxpayer should receive a check once a year in the amount of all of these paid holidays that their taxes paid for. Based on the amount given to the highest paid govt employee who was paid not to work.

Kwanza is a Black Panther created Marxist substitute for Christmas .
The Juneteenth holiday supposedly remembers the news about the democrat held slaves were freed by Republicans .
I have no issue with remembering this day in some manner.
A federal holiday may be too much , but it’s a very worthy thing to remember .

It gives federal employees taxpayer funded holidays totaling 45 now.

A few more than I get with zero funded days off a year.

Next we'll have a federal holiday remembering George Floyd, a black drug addict.

“It gives federal employees taxpayer funded holidays totaling 45 now.“

45 days ?!
Is that holidays plus vacation time?

I thought I typed 12 days but that's not even right. I think it's 11. Could be a few more if you include some of the holidays that fall on the weekends.

Too late at night for an old guy trying to type too fast.

A friend of mine works for BLM. The land management one. They work 4 ten hour days. So, figure three day weeks, with holidays.

The number includes actual holidays plus allowed sick days and vacation/annual days.
