Welcome to our new monthly series Learning With A Lender!

Each month Guaranteed Rate Vice President Joel Schaub will be on the show to discuss anything and everything related to the lending process. Joel is in the top 1/10th of 1% in loan production at his company, and his insights on what brokers and consumers need to know about mortgages is incredible. In this first episode Joel discusses why property specific pre-approvals are critical (but most buyers and brokers aren’t aware they exist) and also how Fannie May and Freddie Mac are allowing (for some properties) a Property Inspection Waiver resulting in 8-9 day faster closings!
