YES! do 2 loans at once. Countrywide tried some weird crap on me and I got crazy with them. Any place will take their time knowing you are stuck then you have to go with them. Especially with a $100 per day charge with foreclosures (they charge you 100-150 per day if you dont close after 30 days). That is what happend to me. I had to get an extention on both properties I bought. One was 50% down and the other was 30% down. 0 debt, high ficos AND THEY STILL COULDNT close on time. Be very carefull.
