From Splotto - A homebuilder on the FOOL

I was out shopping on of our rivals communities yesterday and I had to laugh at the exchange I witnessed.

Please note that I don't think this is limited to our rivals...I am sure it's going on all over.

An appraiser came into the sales office to talk with the sales person. It's is usual to do this when someone in the community is refinancing or someone is buying a resale. The sales staff will give the appraiser sales prices an option lists for similar models in the communitity as 'comps' for the appraisal.

Turn out that the loan in question is a HELOC for a home that closed a month ago. They are applying for a 125% HELOC. They had financed 100% of the home at purchase. Turns out the home buyer needs about 100k to decorate the home (on top of the 800k they paid for the house). They are also looking to buy a new car.
